Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler "Schautaler" coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, minted in 1687, features an interesting design element - a depiction of the Archbishop Anselm Francis of Ingelheim on the obverse (front side), surrounded by a elaborate ornamental frame. This design was a departure from the typical design of thalers at the time, which usually featured a portrait of the ruling monarch or a coat of arms. The inclusion of the Archbishop's image on the coin was a nod to his influence and importance in the region.
