Interesting fact

The coin was issued during the late 18th century, a period of Enlightenment and Revolution, and it reflects the economic and political shifts that were taking place in Germany and Europe at the time. The use of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver. Additionally, the coin's weight of 1.08g is notable, as it was a standard weight for coins of this denomination during this time period. Overall, this coin is a fascinating piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of late 18th century Europe.
