Comment
Reißenauer 50. Bohl 23. Mayer 83Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1773 Clemens Wenzeslaus of Sachsen 1/24 Thaler coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Augsburg, which was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the Holy Roman Empire. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of Clemens Wenzeslaus. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and denomination, and highlights the importance of the Bishopric of Augsburg in the region's history and politics.
