| Additional information |
Zug was among the smallest and least wealthy of the Swiss cantons, and its gold coinage was always sparse — this quarter ducat belongs to a series struck in tiny quantities, largely for ceremonial presentation rather than everyday exchange. The canton's fiscal constraints meant gold issues were produced only when political circumstance or a specific donor made it viable.
Wielandt's census for Zug gold of this type documents surviving examples in the single digits.
