Interesting fact

The 1 Stüber coin from East Frisia (German States) featuring Frederick William III, minted in 1804, was made of Billon, a metal alloy that contains a small amount of gold, but primarily consists of copper and silver. This coin was one of the first to use this unique alloy, which was introduced as a cost-saving measure during a time of economic hardship in the region. Despite its humble composition, the coin remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
