Freising. Clemens Wenzel gold Ducat 1765 AU58 NGC, Munich mint, KM30, Fr-1032. A very scarce type struck under Bishop Clemens Wenzel (Wenceslaus), son of the Polish king and Saxon elector, August III. The legends spell out Clemens' full title as Bishop of Freising and Regensburg, Imperial Prince, Coadjutor of Augsburg, Royal Prince of Poland and Lithuania, and Duke of Saxony. Due to the Bishop's connection to Saxony and Poland the type remains in demand by collectors of both of these two entities, displaying further allure in a specific sense as a wholly well-kept example of the type retaining lustrous fields, near-full detail, and considerable visual charm. Sold with old collector's tag.
