Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Billon is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1702, during the reign of Anthony III, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Despite its relatively low value, the coin is a valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of 18th century Europe.
