| Additional information |
The Mansfeld counts minted prolifically and chaotically, their output complicated by the county's near-constant fragmentation among competing branch lines. By 1617, Artern was one of several subdivisions of an already-subdivided territory, and co-rulership among four counts simultaneously — Volrat VI, Jobst II, Wolfgang III, and Bruno III — was less a political arrangement than a legal impasse, the result of inheritance structures that resisted consolidation for generations. The Thirty Years' War ignited the same year this series began, and Mansfeld's mines would soon become a strategic prize rather than a commercial one.
