Interesting 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 lion. This blending of religious and political symbols reflects the complex power dynamics of the time, where the church and state were closely intertwined.
