2 Pfennig - Johann Lucius

Haldenstein was one of the smallest sovereign entities in the Three Leagues of the Graubünden, a loose Swiss confederacy in which even minor lordships retained coinage rights well into the eighteenth century. Johann Lucius — properly Johann Lucius von Salis — ruled this pocket lordship during a period when such fractional billon pieces served purely local exchange, rarely traveling far beyond the Rhine valley villages under his jurisdiction.

The HMZ reference places this among a thin series of denominations struck across the Salis family's tenure at Haldenstein, the lordship itself passing between family branches through inheritance rather than purchase or conquest.
