Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers, each with their own distinct title, on its obverse side. This includes Günther IV, Ernest II, Hoyer VI, Gebhard VII, and Albert VII, who were all prominent figures in the County of Mansfeld-Vorderort during the early 16th century. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued jointly by multiple rulers, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
