Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Wolfgang of Dalberg (Bettlertaler) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a beggar (hence the name "Bettlertaler") on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design by the Archbishop Wolfgang of Dalberg himself. This unusual feature was meant to serve as a reminder of the importance of charity and helping those in need.
