Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Johannes II Bertkow ND (1473-1485) coin from the Bishopric of Dorpat (Livonian Confederation) is that it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that is composed of a combination of copper, silver, and other metals. This alloy was commonly used in the production of coins during the medieval period, as it was more durable and resistant to wear and tear than pure copper or silver. The use of Billon in coin production also allowed for the creation of coins with a lower intrinsic value, which was important during times of economic hardship or when there was a shortage of precious metals.
