Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Wolfgang of Dalberg (Bettlertaler) 1586 coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz (German States) 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 to symbolize the Archbishop's commitment to charity and helping the poor.
