Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Austrian Administration of Maximilian II Emanuel, minted between 1705 and 1710, 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 copper, and it was used to create a coin that was both durable and had a lower cost of production compared to coins made of pure silver. This coin was circulated in the Electorate of Bavaria, which was a state within the Holy Roman Empire.
