Silver Weight varies: 1.46-1.85gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Albus - Henry Casimir II 1683-1685 from Principality of Nassau-Dietz (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.66 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Nine Years' War (1688-1697) which was a conflict between France and the Holy Roman Empire, and this coin was likely used as a means of exchange and commerce during that time.
