Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Hannover, minted in 1814 during the reign of George III, is interesting because it was made of Billon, an alloy of copper and silver, which was a common practice in Europe during that time period. The use of Billon in coinage was a way to stretch the limited supply of silver, while still maintaining the value of the coin. This coin, in particular, contains 31.2% silver and weighs 1.94 grams, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
