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 coin that was both durable and had a lower intrinsic value than a solid silver coin. This allowed the production of coins to be more affordable and accessible to a wider range of people.
