Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features an image of St. Martin on horseback, dividing his cloak with a beggar. This image was a common motif on coins from the region during the Renaissance period, symbolizing the virtue of charity and the importance of helping those in need.
