Interesting fact
The 1 Stüber coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, issued in 1765 during the reign of Charles Theodor, is interesting because 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 copper and silver, and it was used to create coins that had a silver-like appearance but were less expensive to produce than solid silver coins. This coin is a unique example of the use of Billon in coinage during the 18th century.
