| Aanvullende informatie |
Solothurn's duplone series occupied a peculiar place in Swiss cantonal coinage — the quarter denomination was struck in very small quantities, largely for presentation and trade use rather than everyday exchange. The canton's output was never prolific; Solothurn lacked the economic infrastructure of Bern or Zurich, and its gold issues from the late 18th century survive in numbers that reflect genuinely limited original production rather than attrition through wear.
The HMZ reference 2-843a places this among the rarest fractional gold pieces of the pre-Helvetic Republic period, which ended abruptly with the French invasion of 1798.
