Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs - Frederick II 1752 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 copper and silver, and it was used to create a coin that was both durable and had a lower cost of production compared to coins made of pure silver or gold. The use of Billon in coin production was a common practice in many European countries during the 18th century, and it allowed for the creation of coins that were more affordable and accessible to the general population.
