Comment
Slg. Cahn 153Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1765 Clemens Wenzeslaus of Sachsen 1 Ducat coin is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin's design, which features an image of Clemens Wenzeslaus, the Bishop of Freising, is a reflection of the Baroque style that was popular during this period. The use of gold and the coin's intricate details, such as the ornate border and the bishop's elaborate robes, further highlight the artistic sophistication of the time.
