Interesting fact
The Schilling 1600 from Monetary Union of Uri and Nidwalden (Old Swiss Confederacy) made of Billon weighing 1.05 g is interesting because it was used as a currency in the region during the 17th century, and it's made of a unique alloy called Billon, which is a mixture of silver and copper.
