Interesting fact
The Bluzger coin from the Bishopric 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 combination of silver and other metals, such as copper or tin, and 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 the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) to use in their daily transactions.
