Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1773 Clemens Wenzel of Sachsen 1/48 Thaler coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "C.W." (for Clemens Wenzel) placed above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and issuing authority.
