Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in the German States. The County of Mansfeld-Friedeburg was a small territory located in what is now the state of Saxony-Anhalt, and the coin was minted during a period of religious and political upheaval, including the Protestant Reformation and the Thirty Years' War. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region.
