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 intrinsic value than pure silver or gold coins, while still maintaining a degree of durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of Billon in coinage also made it easier to produce coins in large quantities, as it was less expensive than using pure precious metals.
