Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Prince-Bishop Johann Anton I von Waldburg-Zeil, who was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons). The coin's design, featuring an inscription within a wreath, was a common motif during this time period and was used to symbolize the unity and strength of the region.
