Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 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, just a few years after the end of the Great Northern War, which had a profound impact on the region's economy and political landscape. The coin's silver content and its depiction of Clemens August, who was a powerful bishop and prince-elector, reflect the region's growing prosperity and political influence during this time.
