| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pointed shield bearing the arms of Bishop Jean de Michaelis, surmounted by a mitre, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The heraldic device is rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of mid-fifteenth-century episcopal billon coinage. A partial abbreviated Latin legend surrounds the inner circle within the outer beaded border. The overall striking is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jean de Michaelis held the see of Lausanne for barely two years before his death in 1468, making his coinage among the shortest-lived episcopal issues of the Swiss plateau. The Lausanne bishopric had long exercised the right to strike billon deniers under the Holy Roman Empire, but by the mid-fifteenth century that monetary authority was increasingly contested by Bern and Savoy, both pressing their influence into Vaudois territory. Surviving pieces are rarely encountered, a direct consequence of the reign's brevity and the low intrinsic value that kept these coins circulating hard until worn to illegibility.
