Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2½ Kreuzer - Eberhard Louis 1732-1733 from Duchy of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Billon weighing 1.02 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 Duke Eberhard Louis, who was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of Württemberg. The coin's design, which features an image of the Duke on one side and the Württemberg coat of arms on the other, reflects the cultural and political values of the time. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
