Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Artern is that it features a unique combination of three different rulers on its obverse side. Volrat VI, Jobst II, and Wolfgang III are all depicted together, which is a rare occurrence in numismatics. This coin is a testament to the complex political landscape of the German States during the early 17th century, where multiple rulers often shared power or ruled jointly over the same territory.
