Interesting fact
The 1 Dreiling coin from the City of Wismar (German States) made of Billon is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Duke Gustav Adolf of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, who was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of his territories. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Despite its relatively low value, the 1 Dreiling coin remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today, offering a glimpse into the financial and cultural history of 17th century Europe.
