Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Schilling - Marshal Lefebvre (French Occupation; Trial Strike) 1808 from Republic of Danzig (City of Danzig, Polish States) made of Copper weighing 0.98 g is that it features an image of Marshal Lefebvre, a prominent French military leader, on one side, and an image of the Danzig coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during the French occupation of Danzig, and the trial strike was likely created as a test run before the official production of the coin began. The fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that it was intended for circulation among the general population, rather than being a commemorative or collectible coin.
