Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dreier coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it was made of Billon, a metal alloy consisting of 31.3% silver and 68.7% copper. 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 the lower silver content, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in trade and commerce.
