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 during the reign of Johann Rudolf, who was the Lord of Reichenau in the Grisons region of Switzerland. This was a period of significant economic growth and development in the region, with the introduction of new trade routes and technologies. Despite this, the coin was made of billon, a lower-value metal alloy, indicating that it was intended for everyday use by common people rather than being a high-value coin for the wealthy elite. This suggests that the coin played an important role in the local economy, facilitating trade and commerce for the average person in the region.
