Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Ulrich VI 1663 from Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) coin is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. This was a common practice in the 17th century, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable to produce and circulate. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still holds historical significance and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
