Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons), where it was issued. The 17th century was marked by religious conflicts, political tensions, and economic instability, which are all reflected in the coin's design and production. Despite these challenges, the Pfennig coin remained a widely used denomination in the region, a testament to its enduring value and utility.
