Interesting fact
The Pfennig ND (1530-1599) from City of Fribourg made of Billon is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the rise of trade and commerce, and the formation of the Holy Roman Empire. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the Billon, the coin was still considered a significant unit of currency at the time, and its design and minting process were carefully regulated by the authorities to ensure its authenticity and value.
