Interesting fact
The 1 Mariengroschen coin from East Frisia, minted during the reign of Frederick II (1771-1775), is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of copper and silver, and it was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of Billon in the production of coins was a cost-effective way for the mint to produce a large number of coins without using a large amount of precious metals like silver or gold. This coin is a great example of how coins were made during that time period and how different materials were used to create them.
