Mansfeld is located northwest of Saxony in which the Harz mountains supplied an ample quantity of silver. Mansfeld coined a steady stream of talers in profusion for several centuries. The design of the obverse with helmeted arms dividing the date-or, as in this case, half date-and St George reverse, was mostly used from the earliest issue in 1521.
