The 3½ Kreuzer / 2½ Kreuzer 1758 coin from the City of Ulm (German States) made of Billon is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I, who was trying to reform the currency system of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's unique design, featuring a crowned imperial eagle on one side and the Ulm city coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and economic tensions of the time. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
