Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs - Frederick II 1752-1753 from East Frisia (German States) coin 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 copper and silver, and it 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 Frederick II on one side and the East Frisian coat of arms on the other. This coin is a great example of how even coins made with more affordable materials can still be crafted with care and attention to detail.
