Historical Context: This 1729 Kreuzer was issued under Marian von Castelberg, Abbot of the Imperial Abbey of Disentis (1704-1746). Located in the Grisons, the Abbey held significant temporal and spiritual jurisdiction as a sovereign entity within the Holy Roman Empire, allied with the Three Leagues. The Kreuzer, a ubiquitous small denomination, facilitated local trade and affirmed the Abbot's seigniorial coinage rights, a crucial symbol of autonomy amidst complex regional politics of the early 18th century.
Artistry: The design reflects late Baroque numismatic style for ecclesiastical issues, simplified by the coin's diminutive size and billon composition. The obverse typically features Abbot Marian's mitred coat of arms, often flanked by crosier and sword, symbolizing his temporal and spiritual authority. The reverse commonly displays the denomination (KREUZER) and date within an ornate cartouche or simple frame, frequently accompanied by a cross. Engraver signatures are not documented for Disentis Abbey's minor issues.
Technical/Grading: Given its billon composition and small flan (0.68 gg), striking quality often varied, making a well-centered, fully struck example rare. Key high-points for grading include intricate details of the abbot's armorial bearings: escutcheon charges, mitre folds, and crosier volute. On the reverse, clarity of the KREUZER legend, date, and any ornamentation are paramount. Surface integrity, free from significant corrosion or planchet flaws common to billon, is a critical determinant of condition.
