Comment
BID = Bernhard Julius DedekindInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs - Frederick II 1747-1748 coin from East Frisia (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, usually copper, and was used to create a coin that was more durable and less prone to wear and tear than a coin made of pure silver. This coin, in particular, weighs 0.79 grams and features an image of Frederick II on one side and the East Frisian coat of arms on the other. Despite its relatively small size and weight, this coin is a valuable piece of history and a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
