Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers coin featuring Clemens Wenzeslaus of Sachsen is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued in the late 18th century, a period marked by the rise of Enlightenment ideas and the decline of feudalism. The Bishopric of Augsburg, where the coin was minted, was a powerful ecclesiastical state that played a significant role in the political and economic life of the region. The coin's silver content and its depiction of Clemens Wenzeslaus, the Bishop of Augsburg, reflect the wealth and influence of the bishopric during this time.
