Interesting fact
The 2 deniers (denari) coin from Monaco, issued by Antoine I in 1729, is interesting because it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in coinage during that time period. Billon is a mixture of silver and copper, and it was used to create coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than coins made of pure silver. The fact that this coin was made of Billon highlights the efforts of the Monegasque mint to create coins that were both aesthetically pleasing and practical for everyday use.
