| Additional information |
Chur's municipal coinage of this period operated under a franchise granted by the bishop's see, though the city had functioned with considerable civic autonomy since the Reformation reshaped the Graubünden's confessional politics in the sixteenth century. Billon of this weight — barely above pure copper — reflects just how debased small-denomination civic issues had become across the Swiss lands by the late seventeenth century.
The HMZ 2#495h attribution covers a span of at least two decades, meaning individual pieces cannot be dated more precisely without die study.
