Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers, which is unusual for a single coin. The coin was issued during a time of political turmoil in the County of Mansfeld-Friedeburg, and the inclusion of multiple rulers on the coin may have been a way to symbolize the unity and stability of the region despite the political upheaval.
