Comment

This piece is a recreation of the Halbstüber of Prince George Albrecht of East Frisia (1708-1734), which were particularly popular with the people.

Interesting fact

The ½ Stüber coin from East Frisia featuring Frederick II, issued between 1781 and 1782, 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's design and historical significance have made it a prized collector's item among numismatists. In fact, some examples of this coin have been known to sell for thousands of dollars at auction.
