Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Bluzger coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Lordship of Haldenstein, which was a small territory in the Grisons region of Switzerland. Despite its small size, the Lordship of Haldenstein was able to issue its own coins, including the Bluzger, which was made of billon and weighed 0.69 grams. This coin was used for everyday transactions and was an important part of the local economy.
