Comment
V. Schr. 1248Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Clemens Wenzel of Sachsen (½ Konventionstaler) 1773 from Archbishopric of Trier (German States) coin is that it features a unique blend of religious and political symbolism. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Clemens Wenzel, the Archbishop of Trier, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Trier, which includes a cross and a crescent moon, symbolizing the religious and political powers of the archbishop. This blend of symbolism reflects the complex relationship between the church and state in the German States during the 18th century.
