Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Bluzger coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1714, which was the year that the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and the Grisons region, where the coin was minted, was part of the empire. This coin may have been minted as a way to promote trade and commerce in the region during this time of transition.
