Interesting fact
The 2 Stüber coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne, minted in 1749 during the reign of Clemens August, was made of a unique alloy called "Billon." Billon is a mixture of silver and copper, with a small amount of other metals like nickel and zinc. This alloy was commonly used in the German States during the 18th century, and it gave the coins a distinctive grayish-white color. The use of Billon in coinage was a cost-effective way to produce coins, as it was less expensive than using pure silver. Despite its relatively low value, the 2 Stüber coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
