Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the County of Mansfeld-Friedeburg is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during a time of political turmoil in the region, and the inclusion of multiple rulers on the coin may have been a way to symbolize the unity and cooperation of the different territories under their rule. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early modern numismatics and represents an important part of German history.
