| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Virgin Mary, nimbed and seated, is depicted facing forward holding the Christ Child, also nimbed, within a plain inner circle — a Marian devotional type traditional to the Bishopric of Chur. The figures are rendered in the somewhat crude but expressive style characteristic of small hammered billon coinage of the early seventeenth century. The surrounding legend ECCE ANCILL · DOM · incorporates the date 1624, the phrase being an abbreviation of the Marian acclamation Ecce Ancilla Domini (Behold the Handmaid of the Lord). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Johann V Flugi von Aspermont held the bishopric of Chur through a period of acute confessional tension in the Graubünden — the Valtellina massacre of 1620, in which Catholic forces slaughtered Protestant communities in the region, erupted directly within his jurisdictional orbit. Small billon fractions like this Bluzger were the working money of Alpine trade routes connecting the Italian peninsula to the Swiss Confederation, passing through passes the bishopric nominally controlled but could rarely defend.
