| Aanvullende informatie |
The Abbey of Saint Gall operated as an independent prince-abbacy of the Holy Roman Empire, with the abbot holding temporal authority over a substantial territory in northeastern Switzerland. Beda Angehrn, who served as Prince-Abbot from 1767 until the abbey's dissolution in 1805, was among the last rulers to exercise that coining right. The abbey's monetary issues were already an anachronism by 1780, produced more from jurisdictional habit than economic necessity, circulating alongside Swiss cantonal and Habsburg issues in a region where political allegiances were fracturing.
Billon coinage of this type is frequently found with uneven surfaces from inconsistent alloy mixing — a known characteristic of small ecclesiastical mints working with degraded silver stocks in the late eighteenth century.
