Interesting fact

The Quart coin from the Bishopric of Lausanne (Vaud) made of Billon and weighing 0.99g is an interesting piece of history because it was minted during the reign of Sabastiano di Monfalcone, who was the Bishop of Lausanne from 1517 to 1536. This coin is a testament to the economic and political influence of the Bishopric of Lausanne during that time period.
