Interesting fact
The 1 Duarius coin from Hungary made of Billon was minted during the reign of Charles III (1724-1740) and features an image of the king on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The use of Billon, a silver-like alloy made from a mixture of metals, was a common practice during this time period as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower intrinsic value than pure silver coins.
