    I've got several questions regarding this coin:

    1. Krause has this listed as being made of Billion, sure looks like copper to me. Can anyone clarify this?

    2. Is the mint mark a C or a G?

    Austria
    1 Kreuzer
    1800
    Mint Mark: ?
    KM #2111
    Comp: Billion
    Minted: 1809

    It's an 1800 dated kreuzer, mint mark appears to be C, the G has that extra bit going inside the loop. Billon is basically copper that is silvered. When they have wear the silver layer disappears leaving only the copper.
