Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The Bishopric of Sion (Valais) was a small state located in what is now Switzerland, and it was a time of great turmoil for the Catholic Church, with the Protestant Reformation gaining momentum. Despite these challenges, the coin still bears the image of Franz Joseph Supersaxo, the Bishop of Sion, signifying the enduring power and influence of the Church during this period.
