Interesting fact
The 1 Stuiver 1663 coin was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. Billon was commonly used in the production of coins during this time period because it was less expensive than pure silver or gold, but still had a similar appearance and durability. The use of Billon in coin production was a common practice in many parts of Europe during the 17th century, and this coin is a prime example of that.
