| Beschrijving voorzijde | A rampant lion to the right, crowned, supports the quartered shield of Zürich — divided diagonally per bend sinister with the characteristic Zürich arms — centrally positioned in the field. The lion's raised forelegs rest upon the upper rim of the shield, emphasizing the heraldic composition. A dotted inner border frames the central device, with the Latin legend DOMINE CONSERVA NOS IN PACE (Lord, preserve us in peace) running continuously around the periphery between the dotted border and the milled outer edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zürich's ducats of this period were struck under the authority of the city's mint master, with the half ducat serving primarily as a prestige issue and trade facilitator rather than everyday currency — gold of this fineness circulated upward, not downward through the economy. The twenty-one year emission window likely reflects continuous restrikings from the same dies rather than annual production, a common practice among Swiss city-states that complicates precise dating of individual pieces.
The .986 fineness marginally exceeds the Venetian ducat standard the denomination was named after.
