| Additional information |
Zürich issued this denomination through the latter decades of the seventeenth century under the authority of its civic council, a period when the city-state was navigating the complex monetary pressures of the post-Westphalian Swiss Confederation. The dual denomination — half thaler reckoned as 36 Schillings — reflects the persistent coexistence of imperial and local accounting systems that Swiss mints were forced to straddle simultaneously.
The Wunderly reference places this among a well-documented civic series, though individual die marriages across the 1673–1690 run show meaningful variation that collectors tracking the Hürlimann listings have long noted.
