Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfenning - Amand of Buseck 1737-1749 coin from the Abbey of Fulda (German States) 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, typically copper, and was used to create a coin that was both durable and had a lower intrinsic value than a solid silver coin. This allowed the production of coins to be more affordable and accessible to a wider range of people.
