Interesting fact
The 2½ Kreuzer coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach, issued in 1768 during the reign of Charles Frederick, 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 used to create a more durable and affordable alternative to pure silver coins. The use of Billon in the production of coins was a common practice in many German states during the 18th century, and this coin is a prime example of that practice.
