Interesting fact
The 1820 George IV 1/24 Thaler from the Duchy of Brunswick (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic change in Europe. The coin was minted in Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper, and it weighs 1.94 grams. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during the time, and it features an image of George IV on one side and the coat of arms of Brunswick on the other. The fact that it was made of Billon is interesting because it reflects the economic conditions of the time, as the use of Billon was a way to stretch the limited supply of silver while still maintaining the value of the coin.
