Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Stuber coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that 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 silver and copper, and it was often used as a more affordable alternative to pure silver coins. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the 1 Stuber coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and history enthusiasts.
