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 early modern period, as it allowed for the production of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than coins made of pure copper. The use of Billon in coinage also made it possible to produce coins with a lower silver content, which helped to reduce the cost of production. This coin is a great example of the craftsmanship and innovation of coin makers during this time period.
