1 Thaler - Peter Ernest I, John Albert, John Hoyer III, Bruno II and Hoyer Christoph

The Counts of Mansfeld-Friedeburg issued jointly under a co-rulership arrangement that was itself a product of the notoriously fractious Mansfeld inheritance disputes — a dynastic mess stretching across the sixteenth century in which the county was repeatedly subdivided among competing lines, producing an unusual number of multi-portrait thalers bearing the names of rulers who rarely governed in any meaningful collective sense. By 1581, the Friedeburg line was already in demographic decline; Hoyer Christoph died in 1582, which brackets this issue precisely and explains its short production window.
