Interesting fact

The ½ Kreuzer coin from Principality of Neuchâtel, minted in 1802 during the reign of Frederick William III, was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. This coin was one of the smallest denomination coins issued by the Principality of Neuchâtel during that time, and its unique composition makes it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
