Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Dreiling coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. Specifically, the coin contains .187 silver, which is a relatively low percentage of silver compared to other coins of the time. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, and is a sought-after collector's item.
