Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Charles Eugene, the ruler of the duchy from 1737 to 1793, on one side, and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. This coin was minted in 1769 and was made of Billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, typically copper, silver, and sometimes gold. The coin weighs 1.08 grams and was widely used in the German States during that time period.
