Comment
Mintmaster - Martin HoffmannInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper or tin, and 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 Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach to produce a large number of coins without sacrificing their durability.
