| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the arms of the City of Konstanz — a quartered or ornamented cross within a circular inner border, surrounded by four ornamental devices in the angles. The circumferential legend reads MONETA NOVA CIVItatis CONSTANT, identifying this as a new coinage of the city of Konstanz. The design is rendered in a compact, somewhat archaic style typical of small southern German civic coinage of the early eighteenth century. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the imperial double-headed eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, with wings displayed and the imperial orb or shield on the breast, surmounted by a crown. The surrounding legend invokes the name and titles of Emperor Charles VI: CAROLus VI Dei Gratia Romanorum Imperator Semper Augustus Germaniae Hungaria Bohemiae REX. The design conforms to the standard formula for small imperial-city coinage struck under the authority of the Habsburg emperor during the early eighteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Konstanz had been minting small silver fractions intermittently since the medieval period, but the city's autonomy as a Free Imperial City — formally confirmed within the Holy Roman Empire's constitutional framework — gave it the legal right to strike coinage well into the early eighteenth century. This issue falls squarely within that twilight period, when many smaller imperial cities were losing or surrendering their mint privileges to larger territorial powers. Konstanz would cede effective monetary independence not long after.
