Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst (German States) made of Billon and weighing 0.8g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Charles Albert, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1768 to 1780. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign, and it features an image of him on one side and the coat of arms of the county on the other. 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.
