| Beschrijving voorzijde | The quartered arms of Geneva — displaying the Imperial eagle on the dexter and the key of Saint Peter on the sinister — occupy the central field within a beaded inner circle. Above the shield, the IHS Christogram within a radiant sun surmounts the composition. The date appears in the outer legend, which reads GENEVA * CIVITAS * flanking the year. The overall style is characteristic of early seventeenth-century Swiss municipal coinage, executed in the hammered technique with bold, deeply struck relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Geneva struck this fractional thaler series during a decade of acute political anxiety — the city had survived the Escalade of 1602, the Duke of Savoy's failed night assault, and remained acutely aware of its vulnerability as a small Protestant republic surrounded by Catholic powers. Coinage in this period served a diplomatic as much as a commercial function, projecting municipal authority and confessional independence through currency.
The HMZ reference places this among a well-documented run of Geneva municipal silver, but individual dates within the 1623–1633 window carry meaningfully different survival rates.
