Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin featuring Clemens August of Bayern is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued in 1723-1724, a period when the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving and the German States were becoming more independent. This coin, made of silver, was an important medium of exchange during this time and was used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
