This 1707 commemorative medal, created by an anonymous artist, is a circular bronze piece depicting Jozef Klemens, Prince-Bishop of Liège. On the obverse side, a mitre rests upon a papal cross adorned with a dove representing the Holy Spirit. The reverse features an inscription that reads, "CONSECRATIO CLEMENTIS ARCHIEPISCOPI COLONIENSIS", commemorating Jozef Klemens' elevation to Archbishop of Cologne. This small-scale artifact, measuring just 2.9 cm in diameter, exemplifies a common artistic practice of the period, employing medals as historical records and expressions of religious devotion.
