Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kreuzer coin from the League of God's House (Grisons) 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 coins made of pure silver. Additionally, the use of Billon allowed for the creation of coins with a lower silver content, which made them more accessible to a wider range of people.
