| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length figure of Blessed Nicholas of Flüe (Niklaus von Flüe), patron saint of Switzerland, depicted kneeling in prayer facing right on a rocky landscape, robed in a hermit's habit and holding a rosary in his clasped hands. Divine rays of light emanate from the upper right field, suggesting heavenly illumination upon the saint. Rocky outcroppings appear to the left and a small stylized plant to the lower right, composing a naturalistic hermitage scene. The circular legend B·NICOLAUS·DE·FLUE arcs around the upper periphery, with a decorative foliate cartouche at the base. The milled beaded border frames the entire composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Obwalden was one half of the peculiar Swiss arrangement known as Unterwalden — a region so small it functioned as two separate half-cantons, each with its own coinage rights. The 1730–1732 ducat series was struck at a moment when many Swiss cantons were asserting their minting privileges largely for prestige rather than commercial necessity, the ducat denomination being almost entirely a vehicle for diplomatic gifts and inter-cantonal payments rather than everyday trade.
Obwalden's gold output was always extremely limited, and surviving ducats from this emission are genuinely scarce across all grades. The HMZ and Divo/Tob references together list only a handful of documented specimens.
