Comments
This is likely a unique piece, which was in the possession of the Mayor of Albertini in Chur in 1869. Charles Francois Trachsel describes it as a piéfort of the 1 thaler piece most probably the one which the mint master presented to the bishop for his approval as a sample of the new stamp.
