Barthélemi Chuet served as Bishop of Lausanne from 1469 to 1472 — one of the shorter episcopal tenures of the period — making coins struck under his authority genuinely scarce by simple arithmetic. The Bishopric of Lausanne held minting rights as a secular lordship of the Holy Roman Empire, a privilege that would effectively end within decades as the expanding Confederation tightened its grip on regional monetary production. Billon issues of this type circulated alongside Savoyard and Bernese currency in a region where monetary authority was already contested well before the Reformation swept the bishopric away entirely in 1536.
