Interesting fact
The 1 Skilling Dansk coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian VII (1779-1782), was made of a unique alloy called "Billon." Billon is a mixture of silver and copper, with a small amount of other metals like zinc or nickel. This alloy was used to reduce the cost of producing coins, as it was cheaper than using pure silver. Despite its lower value, the Billon alloy was still durable and resistant to wear and tear, making it a practical choice for everyday transactions.
