Comment
Exact years of mintage are unknown.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Sion is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Adrian V, who was the Prince-Bishop of Sion from 1672 to 1701. During this time, the Bishopric of Sion was facing challenges from both within and outside its borders, including conflicts with neighboring territories and the impact of the Protestant Reformation. Despite these challenges, the Kreuzer coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency in the region, a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Sion.
