Interesting fact
The 1⁄24 Thaler coin from the County of Mansfeld-Hinterort, minted during the reign of Frederick Christoph between 1627 and 1630, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols commonly found on coins of that era, this coin features a stylized image of a wild boar, which was likely a symbol of strength and resilience for the people of the region. This unique design choice makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
