Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Stüber - Charles Theodor 1765-1766 from Duchy of Jülich-Berg (German States) made of Billon is that it features an image of Charles Theodor, the ruler of the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, on one side, and a depiction of the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving and the German states were becoming more independent. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
