| Additional information |
Haldenstein was a tiny lordship in the Graubünden region of what is now eastern Switzerland, and its right to strike gold coinage was perpetually contested. Thomas I von Schauenstein-Haldenstein obtained imperial minting rights, but the quantities produced were negligible — these gulden circulated more as prestige objects than functioning trade currency in a region already saturated with better-known Swiss and German issues.
The nineteen-year span of this type masks an almost certainly interrupted production history. HMZ catalogues only a single die marriage under 2-519a.
