| Additional information |
Haldenstein was one of the smallest sovereign entities in the Fähnlein system of the Graubünden — a lordship so minor that its independent coinage is often overlooked even in specialist Swiss catalogs. Georg Philip, lord of Haldenstein in the late seventeenth century, exercised minting rights that were technically his by imperial grant but were practically anomalous given the territory's size. The bluzger denomination itself was a low-value billon piece circulating primarily in the Rhine valley trade zone, its acceptance dependent more on local convention than on any broader monetary authority.
Haldenstein's coinage rights lapsed permanently not long after this series ended.
