Interesting fact
The Maximilian IV Joseph 3 Stuber coin from the Duchy of Berg (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1805-1806, just a few years before the Napoleonic Wars, which had a profound impact on the German states and led to the reorganization of the region. Additionally, the coin was made of Billon, a silver-copper alloy that was commonly used in coinage during this time period, but has since been largely replaced by more durable and pure metals. The coin's weight of 1.85g is also noteworthy, as it was a relatively small denomination for the time period, and its value would have been equivalent to a fraction of a larger coin, such as the standard 1/4 thaler.
