Comment
IK - Mint official, Jacob Kohlhass, Bonn, 1739-1760Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Clemens August of Bayern 1742-1744 from Archbishopric of Cologne (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Clemens August, who was the Archbishop of Cologne and a prominent figure in the German States. However, the coin was minted in a time of conflict between the Catholic Church and the Protestant states, which eventually led to the Seven Years' War. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship of coin makers during that time.
