| Additional information |
The League of God's House (Gotteshausbund) was one of three leagues that would eventually merge to form the Graubünden canton, but in the mid-sixteenth century it still operated sufficient autonomy to strike its own coinage. These small billon kreuzers were produced at a moment when the league's monetary authority was already under pressure from competing issues circulating out of Chur and from the broader Graubünden alliance.
The HMZ reference 1#2-513 covers a span of three decades, suggesting production was intermittent rather than continuous — likely tied to specific periods of commercial need in the alpine trade routes the league controlled.
