Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Ferdinand II (Graz) 1622-1632 coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. This was a common practice during that time period, as it allowed for the creation of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than those made of pure copper or silver. Additionally, the use of Billon in coinage also helped to reduce the cost of production, as it was less expensive than using pure precious metals.
