| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays an ornate crested helmet surmounting the four-fold arms of Mansfeld, elaborately rendered in the Renaissance style. The date is divided and positioned near the lower portion of the shield. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, with the names of the four co-ruling counts abbreviated and separated by stops. The heraldic composition is finely engraved, characteristic of early sixteenth-century German hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mansfeld-Vorderort's 1529 thaler was struck under a joint rule of four counts — Ernest II, Hoyer VI, Gebhard VII, and Albert VII — a governing arrangement typical of the fractured inheritance customs of German comital houses, where territories were subdivided among male heirs rather than consolidated. The Mansfeld counts were among the wealthiest copper-mining dynasties in central Europe, their revenues from the Mansfeld smelting works underpinning early thaler production in the region.
Martin Luther was himself a Mansfeld native, born in Eisleben in 1483, and his father Hans worked in the county's copper mines. The 1529 date places this coin in the same year as the Diet of Speyer, at which Lutheran princes formally protested Catholic imperial policy — an event unfolding almost directly within Mansfeld's political orbit.
