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 coin was issued during the reign of four different rulers, Hoyer VI, Gebhard VII, Albert VII, and Philip II, which suggests that there was a significant amount of political instability in the region at the time. Additionally, the County of Mansfeld-Vorderort, where the coin was minted, was a small territory that was constantly struggling for survival and independence amidst the larger and more powerful neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of the County of Mansfeld-Vorderort.
