| Aversbeschreibung | Saint George depicted in full armour astride a rearing horse to the right, thrusting a lance downward to slay a writhing dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The scene fills the central field with bold, high-relief hammered workmanship characteristic of mid-16th-century German thalers. A circular beaded border frames the design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery naming the four co-ruling counts. The composition conveys vigorous movement, with the saint's posture and the dragon's contorted form rendered in the expressive late Gothic manner. |

Mansfeld's complex co-rulership arrangements made coins like this administratively necessary and numismatically chaotic. The county's silver output came directly from its own copper-silver mines in the Harz foothills — among the most productive in sixteenth-century Germany — giving the counts both the means and the political incentive to strike thalers bearing all four ruling names simultaneously. Albert VII, John George I, Peter Ernest I, and Christoph II each held fractional sovereignty over different Mansfeld partitions, a dynastic fragmentation that accelerated through the 1560s until debt and legal disputes consumed most of the family's mining revenues.
