Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs - Frederick II 1764-1768 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 silver and other metals, usually copper, and was used to create a coin that was less expensive to produce than a solid silver coin, but still had the appearance of being made of silver. This coin, in particular, weighs 0.96 grams and features an image of Frederick II on one side and the East Frisian coat of arms on the other.
