One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dicken - Johann V ND (1601) from Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) made of Silver weighing 8.64 g is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of Saint Lucius, the patron saint of the Bishopric of Chur, and the reverse side featuring the coat of arms of the bishopric. This coin was minted during the reign of Bishop Johann V von Hatten, who was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region.
