One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Stüber - Charles Theodor 1792-1794 from Duchy of Jülich-Berg (German States) made of Billon weighing 1.3 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Theodor, who was the last Duke of Jülich-Berg and also the first King of Bavaria. This coin was minted as a result of the coinage reform of 1792, which aimed to standardize the coinage system across the German States. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of history that reflects the economic and political changes that were taking place in Europe during the late 18th century.
