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, a metal alloy consisting of 0.187 silver and 0.813 copper. This composition was used to reduce the cost of production, as silver was a more expensive metal at the time. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation.
