Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Daniel Brendel of Homburg (Bettlertaler) 1571 from Archbishopric of Mainz (German States) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a beggar (or "Bettler" in German) on the reverse side, which is where the coin gets its nickname "Bettlertaler." This design was added to the coin to symbolize the Archbishopric's commitment to caring for the poor and needy.
