Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzers coin from Fribourg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Franz Joseph I of Lorraine, who ruled the region from 1741 to 1798. During this time, the coin was used as a standard circulation coin in the city of Fribourg and surrounding areas. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that contains a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals, which gave it a unique weight of 1.60 grams. This makes it an interesting collector's item for numismatists who are interested in the history of European currency.
