Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from Duchy of Württemberg is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. This was a common practice in the German States during the 18th century, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for everyday transactions. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still features a detailed design, including an image of Charles Eugen, the ruler of Württemberg at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. This coin is a unique piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
