Interesting fact
The 1760 Victor II Frederick 1/12 Thaler coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg 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 silver and other metals, typically copper, and was used as a cost-effective alternative to pure silver coins. The use of Billon in the production of coins allowed for the creation of currency that was more affordable and accessible to the general population.
