Comment
Buchonia/Hinkelbein# 42Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs - Constantine of Buttlar 1724 coin from the Abbey of Fulda (German States) is that it was made of Billon, a type of 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 or tin, and was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still features a detailed design, including an image of Constantine of Buttlar, the Abbot of Fulda, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Abbey on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from the German States during the early 18th century.
