Interesting fact
The 1757 Victor II Frederick 1/24 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, such as copper or tin, and was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of Billon in the production of coins was a cost-effective way for the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg to produce a large number of coins without using a large amount of pure silver. This coin is a great example of how different materials were used in the production of coins throughout history, and how they were used to create unique and interesting designs.
