Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2½ Kreuzer - Charles Alexander 1734-1736 from Duchy of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Billon weighing 0.95 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Alexander, who was the Duke of Württemberg from 1734 to 1736. During his reign, Württemberg experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the minting of this coin was a reflection of the increased trade and commerce in the region. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was also a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
