This type was struck in copper 1766-67. The SCWC does not mention this gold issue but notes some in silver (KM Pn43). Wilhelm Anton was not a pluralist although his precedessor, Clemens August, was also archbishop of Cologne and bishop of Liege. The bishopric was annexed to Prussia in 1803, during Napoleon's reorganization of Germany.
