Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1780 1 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of silver and copper, and it was used to create a coin that was more durable and less prone to wear and tear than coins made of pure silver. The use of Billon in the production of coins was a common practice in many German states during the 18th century, and it helped to ensure that coins remained in circulation for a longer period of time.
