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 to share with a beggar. This image has been a symbol of charity and generosity for centuries and is still used in many contexts today.
