Comment
ICG = Johann Christian GittermannInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Stüber - Frederick II (Mule) 1746 coin from East Frisia (German States) is that it features a unique combination of two different designs on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side bears the image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, while the reverse side features the image of a mule, which was a symbol of the city of East Frisia. This combination of designs is known as a "mule" coinage, and it was a common practice in the German States during the 18th century. This particular coin is made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals, and it weighs 0.78 grams.
