Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1800 Frederick Charles Joseph of Erthal 1/24 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz (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 more durable and affordable alternative to pure silver coins. The use of Billon in the production of coins like the 1800 Frederick Charles Joseph of Erthal 1/24 Thaler coin allowed for the creation of a larger number of coins with a lower silver content, making them more accessible to the general population.
