| Aanvullende informatie |
Clemens August of Bavaria held five simultaneous ecclesiastical appointments at his peak — Archbishop of Cologne, Bishop of Münster, Bishop of Paderborn, Bishop of Hildesheim, and Grand Master of the Teutonic Order — making him one of the most politically concentrated figures in the 18th-century Holy Roman Empire. His coinage across these territories is consequently varied and often cross-referenced by collectors tracking his monetary output as a whole rather than by individual issuing authority.
The billon composition reflects chronic silver shortages in smaller ecclesiastical mints by mid-century, where maintaining a pure silver fractional issue had become economically untenable.
