1⁄24 Thaler - Clemens Wenzel of Sachsen

Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony was appointed Archbishop-Elector of Trier in 1768 at the age of thirty, largely through the influence of his aunt, Maria Theresa. He was the last elector ever to hold the see — French Revolutionary forces dissolved the ecclesiastical electorate in 1794, and he died in exile in Augsburg in 1812. This small fractional issue falls squarely in the quieter middle years of his reign, before the political unraveling that would define its end.
