Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1⁄84 Thaler - Dreier 1572 from County of Hohnstein (German States) is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during the Renaissance period. Billon is a mixture of silver and copper, and it was prized for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still features a detailed design, including an image of a crowned eagle on one side and a shield with the coat of arms of the County of Hohnstein on the other. This coin is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the mint masters who produced it over 400 years ago.
