Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Silbergroschen coin from the Principality of Lippe is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the region. The coin was introduced in 1860, just a few years after the Lippe region had experienced a financial crisis caused by a collapse in the textile industry. Despite this, the coin was still made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, which suggests that the region was still trying to maintain a level of economic stability and confidence in its currency.
