Dicken - Jost of Silinen

正面描述	Draped bust of Bishop Jost of Silinen facing right, wearing a flat cap and clerical robes, rendered in high relief in a naturalistic late-Gothic portrait style characteristic of Swiss episcopal coinage of the late 15th century. The effigy is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend reads in full around the periphery, identifying the bishop by name and title.

附加信息	Jost of Silinen became Bishop of Sion in 1482 largely through the political maneuvering of the Swiss Confederates, who needed a cooperative figure controlling the Valais passes. His tenure was turbulent — he was eventually driven from the diocese by the Confederation itself in 1496, ending his rule abruptly and in exile. Coins struck under his authority span exactly that contested window. The Dicken as a denomination was a relatively recent Swiss innovation at the time of this issue, first appearing in the 1470s as larger silver coinage gained traction across the Confederation.
