Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer 1808 coin from the Canton of Schaffhausen is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Napoleonic Wars had recently ended, and the Congress of Vienna was held in 1815, which led to the reorganization of Europe's political landscape. Additionally, this coin was minted using Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in coinage during this time period. Billon is made from a combination of copper and silver, and it was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that this coin has survived for over two centuries and is still in circulation today is a testament to its quality and craftsmanship.
