Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Nuremberg was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. This was a common practice in the German States during the early 19th century, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for everyday transactions. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the coin still features a beautiful design, including the coat of arms of Nuremberg on one side and the denomination and year on the other. This coin is a great example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the production of coins during this time period.
