Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Batzen - Franz Joseph Supersaxo 1708-1722 coin from the Bishopric of Sion (Valais) is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. This was a common practice during that time period, as it allowed for the creation of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than pure silver coins. The use of Billon in coinage also made it possible to produce coins with a lower silver content, which helped to reduce the cost of production. Despite being made of an alloy, the Batzen - Franz Joseph Supersaxo 1708-1722 coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, and is highly sought after by collectors today.
