Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Lausanne (Vaud). The coin was issued by Jean de Michaelis, who was the bishop of Lausanne from 1466 to 1468. During his tenure, the bishopric faced challenges from both within and outside its borders, including conflicts with neighboring territories and the threat of Ottoman invasion. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Lausanne during this time period.
