Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Bornstedt is that it features a unique combination of co-rulers, Wolfgang III and Bruno III, who were both members of the House of Mansfeld and ruled the county together in the early 17th century. This coin is a rare example of a joint ruler ship coinage and highlights the complex political dynamics of the German States during that time.
