Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Grote - Paul Frederick August 1840 from Grand duchy of Oldenburg (German States) made of Billon (.340 silver) weighing 2.30 g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The Grand Duchy of Oldenburg was one of the German states that was part of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 states that existed from 1815 to 1866. During this time, there was a lot of economic and political tension among the states, and the coinage system was one of the areas that was affected. The use of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
