Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Austrian Empire 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 allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable to mint and circulate. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
