30 Kreuzers - Volrat VI, Philip Ernest and Albert Wolff Kipper

Mansfeld-Artern's 30 Kreuzer issues of 1621–22 are products of the Kipper- und Wipperzeit, the currency debasement crisis that swept the Holy Roman Empire in the early Thirty Years' War. Petty lords, bishops, and free cities raced to remint good coin into debased billon, pocketing the difference before the inevitable collapse. Mansfeld was among the most aggressive participants — the county's copper and silver mining interests gave it both the metal supply and the infrastructure to flood regional markets with underweight multiples.

The three-count joint issue reflects the fractured inheritance structure of the Mansfeld territories, which had been partitioned and re-partitioned across cadet lines for decades.
