Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Ort / 18 Groszy - August III (Lipsk) 1755 from Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and other metals, in this case, .300 silver. This means that the coin was not made of pure silver, but rather a combination of silver and other metals, which was a common practice in coinage during that time period.
