Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Pfennigs - Frederick of York 1766 coin from the Bishopric of Osnabrück (German States) 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 other metals, typically copper, and was used to create a coin that was more durable and less prone to wear and tear than coins made of pure silver. The use of Billon in the production of coins was a common practice in many European countries during the 18th century, and this coin is a prime example of that practice.
