One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennigs - Frederick Christian ND (1757) coin from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. This was a common practice in the German States during that time period, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable to produce and circulate. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still holds historical significance and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
