Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1723 Clemens August of Bayern 1/48 Thaler coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Clemens August, who was the Bishop of Münster and a powerful figure in the German States. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for currency in the region, as trade and commerce were increasing during this time. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was also a common practice during this period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
