Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the County of Mansfeld-Artern is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "P" and "A" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for the names of the ruling counts, Philip Ernest and Albert Wolff (also known as Kipper). This coin was minted in 1621 and is made of silver, weighing 1.74 grams.
