| Additional information |
The haller was the smallest accounting unit in Bernese monetary practice, struck in billon so debased it barely qualifies as a silver coin. Bern's right to strike such petty coinage was grounded in its status as a sovereign city within the Confederation, and the 1539–1547 production window corresponds to a period of active monetary reform across the Swiss cantons following the disruptions of the Reformation decade.
