| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicts Saint Lucius, patron saint of Chur, shown in full armour as an equestrian figure mounted on a horse facing left, with a halo around his head and a raised sword in his right hand. The saint is rendered in high relief with detailed armour and horse trappings characteristic of early 17th-century hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central design. The Latin legend MONETA·CVRIAE·RETICE * runs around the periphery, identifying this as the coinage of Rhaetian Chur. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chur, as the oldest city in Switzerland and seat of the Bishop of Chur, had long maintained minting rights, but the early seventeenth century saw the city navigating an extraordinarily volatile political moment — the Fähnlilkrieg of 1618 and the subsequent factional violence of the Graubünden civil conflicts repeatedly destabilized the region's institutions. The Valtellina crisis, which drew Spanish, French, and Venetian interference directly into Graubünden affairs from 1620 onward, gave urgent practical weight to maintaining a reliable local silver coinage.
The Dicken denomination itself corresponds to the Taler-fraction tradition, struck at roughly one-third Taler weight.
