Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper or tin, and was used to create a more durable and affordable alternative to pure silver coins. The use of Billon in the production of coins like the ½ Kreuzer helped to make currency more accessible to a wider range of people, contributing to the economic growth and development of the region.
