Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs coin from the County of Schaumburg-Lippe, issued in 1802 during the reign of George William, is interesting because 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 silver-like appearance, but at a lower cost than using pure silver. This coin is a great example of how coinage was evolving during the early 19th century, as governments and minting authorities were experimenting with different materials and techniques to create coins that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
