Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Charles Philip 1737 coin from the Electors of the Palatinate (German States) is that 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, and was used to create a coin that was both durable and had a lower intrinsic value than a solid silver coin. This allowed for the production of coins that could be used for everyday transactions, while still maintaining a level of durability and quality.
