Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The County of Mansfeld-Vorderort, where the coin was minted, was a small territory that was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a powerful and influential political entity at the time. The coin's minting during this period highlights the importance of trade and commerce in the region, as well as the need for a standardized form of currency that could be used across different territories and states.
