| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored equestrian figure of Count Christian Frederick of Mansfeld depicted in right profile, mounted on a rearing horse and brandishing a sword aloft in his right hand. The horse and rider are rendered in dynamic, high-relief hammered style, with the dragon or serpent-like creature visible beneath the horse's hooves, evoking the iconography of Saint George. A beaded inner border frames the central device. The circumferential legend in Latin reads CHRISTIAN FRIED C A C D I MANSF N D I H SES, identifying the issuing count and his territories, separated by pellets. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mansfeld-Hinterort was one of several fractious subdivisions of the Mansfeld county, a territory so relentlessly partitioned among heirs that by the mid-seventeenth century it had splintered into at least four distinct lines. Christian Frederick ruled Hinterort from 1641 until his death in 1665, issuing coins through a period when the county's copper mining revenues — long the economic backbone of the region — were still recovering from the devastation of the Thirty Years' War, which had ended only with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.
The Tornau reference places this squarely within the specialized Mansfeld literature, a collecting field narrow enough that auction appearances remain infrequent.
