Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Lordship of Haldenstein, where the coin was minted, was a small territory in the Grisons region of Switzerland, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for currency in the region. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was also a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
