Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzer coin from the City of St. Gallen, minted in 1790, is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper, and was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that this coin was made of Billon suggests that it was intended for everyday use and circulation, and that it was a practical and functional coin for the people of St. Gallen to use in their daily transactions.
