| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned episcopal coat of arms of Clemens Wenzel, Prince-Bishop of Augsburg, displayed centrally in the field, flanked by a sword to the left and a crozier to the right, with a suspended ecclesiastical order badge below. The shield bears the characteristic hatched design of the Augsburg see. A circular Latin legend runs along the beaded border, reading the bishop's full titulature. The overall composition reflects the baroque heraldic style typical of late 18th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Clemens Wenzel of Saxony was appointed Prince-Bishop of Augsburg in 1768 at age twenty-two, backed heavily by his uncle Elector Friedrich August III — a appointment as much dynastic as ecclesiastical. His tenure coincided with Joseph II's aggressive Josephinist reforms curtailing Church temporal authority across the Empire, and the small copper issues of his see reflect a diocese quietly asserting its minting rights while those rights were increasingly under pressure from Vienna.
Mayer 85 is among the more routinely encountered of his copper types, suggesting steady if modest production across the three-year window.
