| Additional information |
Haldenstein was among the smallest sovereign entities in the Graubünden region of the Swiss Confederation, its lords holding minting rights that were technically permitted under Imperial grant but perpetually contested by neighboring powers. The 60 Kreuzer denomination places this squarely within the fragmented monetary world of late 17th-century German-speaking Europe, where dozens of minor lordships exploited their coining privileges during precisely these decades before Imperial consolidation began curtailing such rights.
Georg Philipp von Schauenstein-Ehrenfels held Haldenstein from 1680 until his death in 1693, making this a terminal-reign issue.
