Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Principality of Reuss-Ebersdorf was a small state within the German States, and the coinage of this time period reflects the economic and political shifts that were taking place. The use of Billon, a metal alloy of copper and silver, was a common practice during this time as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for the average person. Additionally, the weight of the coin, 1.76g, was a standard weight for coins of this denomination during this time period.
