Interesting fact
The Kreuzer - Thomas III 1758 coin from the Lordship of Haldenstein (Grisons) was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. This coin was unique in that it was one of the first coins to use this alloy, which was invented by the mint master, Thomas III, specifically for this coin. The use of Billon in coins became more widespread in the following centuries and is still used today in some coins.
