Comment
Slg. Noss 453Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Electors of the Palatinate (German States) is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. This was a common practice in the 18th century, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable to produce and circulate. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
