Comment
At this time, David and Friedrich Christoph, Counts, were issuing joint coinage for the county of Mansfeld-Eigentlich-Hinterort.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs coin from the County of Mansfeld-Hinterort is that it features a unique double portrait of its rulers, David and Frederick Christoph, who were brothers and co-regents of the county. This double portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that time and adds to the coin's historical significance and collectible value.
