Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features an image of St. Martin on horseback, cutting his cloak in half to share with a beggar. This image was a common motif on coins from the region during the 17th century, and it symbolizes the values of charity and generosity.
