Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Stüber coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne 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, such as copper or tin, and was used to create a more durable and affordable alternative to pure silver coins. The use of Billon in the production of coins like the 6 Stüber coin allowed for the creation of a larger number of coins with a lower cost, making it easier for people to conduct everyday transactions.
