Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) made of Silver weighing 4.99 g is that it was minted during the reign of Johann Anton, who was the Prince-Bishop of Chur from 1755 to 1763. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were designed to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Chur on one side and the image of Saint Lucius, the patron saint of the diocese, on the other. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
