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 during that time period, as it was more cost-effective than using pure silver or gold. However, the use of Billon in coinage was eventually phased out in favor of more durable and valuable metals. Today, coins made of Billon are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
