Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 7 Ducats coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Johann V, who was the Bishop of Chur from 1601 to 1627. During this period, the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum, and the Bishopric of Chur was one of the few Catholic territories in Switzerland that remained loyal to the Pope. Despite the turmoil, the coinage of the Bishopric of Chur continued to be minted, and the 7 Ducats coin is a testament to the enduring power and influence of the Catholic Church in the region.
