1/4 Thaler

Beromünster was one of the few Swiss collegiate abbeys with the right to strike coinage, a privilege it exercised sporadically rather than systematically. By 1720, that minting authority was already an anachronism — the broader Swiss monetary environment was consolidating, and small ecclesiastical issues like this one were increasingly marginal in actual commerce. Surviving examples are rare simply because output was low and the issuing institution was minor.
