| Additional information |
The Bishopric of Chur occupied an anomalous position within the Swiss Confederation — ecclesiastical in character but exercising temporal authority over Graubünden's alpine passes, which made it strategically valuable enough to attract persistent interference from Austria, France, and the Confederation simultaneously. Johann Anton von Rodt, who held the see from 1755 to 1777, issued this thaler during a period of sustained pressure on episcopal prerogatives from secular cantonal authorities. The HMZ 2-475b designation distinguishes this specific wreath-inscription variant from related issues of the same bishop, a distinction that matters to type collectors working the Swiss ecclesiastical series.
