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-Hinterort, 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 was likely influenced by the political and religious tensions of the era, and it may have been used as a symbol of the county's power and influence.
