Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers' names on its obverse side, which is unusual for a standard circulation coin. The names are: Günther IV, Ernest II, Hoyer VI, Gebhard VII, and Albert VII, who were all members of the House of Mansfeld, a noble family that ruled the County of Mansfeld-Vorderort in the German States during the 16th century. This coin was minted in 1524, making it a rare and valuable piece for collectors of historical coins.
