| Reverse description | The so-called 'Bettlertaler' (Beggar's Thaler) type: the Archbishop Johann Adam von Bicken depicted as a mounted knight in full armour, on a prancing horse facing right, with a kneeling beggar figure prominently placed beneath the horse's raised forelegs, a motif reflecting the Archbishop's charitable reputation. The date 1602 appears in the upper field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the equestrian scene, interrupted by decorative stops, with a small rosette mint mark visible in the lower field. |
