The League of God's House — Gotteshausbund in German — was one of three leagues that would eventually consolidate into the Graubünden canton of Switzerland, though in 1540 that union was still decades from completion. These small silver pieces circulated through the alpine passes of the Engadine, where the league exercised genuine political autonomy and minting rights independent of both the Habsburgs and the Swiss Confederacy proper. The thirty-year date range reflects extended use of a single coinage type rather than continuous annual production.
