Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg is that it features an image of Clemens Wenzeslaus of Sachsen, who was the Prince-Bishop of Augsburg from 1768 to 1803. This coin was minted during his reign, and it is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a German prince-bishop during that time period.
