| Reverse description | Saint Martin of Tours depicted as an armored equestrian figure facing left atop a prancing horse, with a nimbus about his head and his sword raised or extended; beneath the horse crouches a nearly naked beggar — giving the coin its popular name Bettlertaler (beggar thaler) — who reaches upward in supplication. The Mainz wheel appears in the exergue below. The surrounding Latin legend MONETA.NOVA.ARGENTEA.MOGVNTI.1602 identifies this as a new silver coin of Mainz, dated 1602, all within a beaded border. |
