Interesting fact
The Bluzger coin from the City of Chur (Grisons) is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper, tin, or lead, and it was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that the Bluzger coin was made of Billon suggests that it was intended for everyday use and circulation, and that it was a practical and functional coin for the people of Chur (Grisons) to use in their daily transactions.
