Interesting fact
The 1 Stüber coin featuring Clemens August of Bavaria, issued by the Archbishopric of Cologne in the German States, is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a combination of silver and copper, and it was used to create coins that were more durable and had a lower intrinsic value than coins made of pure silver. This allowed for the production of coins that were more affordable and accessible to the general population.
