| Additional information |
Mansfeld-Bornstedt was one of the last gasps of the fractured Mansfeld comital lines, a county so subdivided by inheritance disputes over two centuries that by the mid-eighteenth century it retained little more than nominal sovereignty and minting rights it could barely justify exercising. Henry — Heinrich Franz, Count of Mansfeld-Bornstedt — issued this thaler just years before the line's extinction, the county reverting to Prussian administration shortly after his death. Tornau's 321c designation places this among the terminal issues of the entire Mansfeld minting tradition.
