| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large double cross (cross potent or patriarchal cross) occupies the center of the field, its arms extending nearly to the beaded border, with a smaller crossbar above the main horizontal arm. The four quadrants created by the cross arms are left open. The circular legend SAN GAL ENS 83, an abbreviated form of Sangallensis (of St. Gallen) with the last two digits of the date 1583, is distributed around the periphery, interspersed with a cross ornament, all within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
St. Gallen's civic coinage of the late sixteenth century reflects an ongoing jurisdictional tension between the city and the powerful Benedictine abbey that shared its name and walls. The city maintained its own mint rights as a means of asserting political independence from the abbey — a distinction that mattered enormously in the fragmented sovereignty of the Swiss Confederation. By 1583, that relationship had been contentious for over a century.
Billon issues at this weight were the workhorses of small daily transactions, and surviving examples typically show heavy circulation wear precisely because they were spent, not saved.
