Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Kreuzer 1765 coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. This was a common practice during that time period, as it was more cost-effective than using pure silver or gold. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce.
