Interesting fact

The ½ Stüber coin from East Frisia, minted during the reign of Frederick II (1772-1781), was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin was still considered valuable during its time and was widely used in trade and commerce. In fact, the ½ Stüber coin was one of the most widely used coins in the German States during the 18th century, and its design and mintage were closely monitored by the government to ensure its authenticity and value.
