Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Bluzger coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) during the 16th century, despite being made of a relatively low-value material like billon. This highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people in this region, who were able to use available materials to create a functional currency that served their economic needs.
