Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political upheaval in the German States. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the County of Mansfeld-Artern, where the coin was minted, was a small state in the midst of a tumultuous period in European history. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's minting was a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Mansfeld-Artern.
