Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Artern is that it features a unique combination of religious and secular symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of Saint George slaying a dragon, a common motif in medieval European art and symbolism. On the other side, the coin features the coats of arms of the two ruling counts, Volrat VI and Jobst II, who were both prominent figures in the region's political and military history. This blending of religious and secular imagery reflects the complex and often intertwined nature of religious and political power in Europe during the early modern period.
