| Beschrijving voorzijde | Centrally placed ornate baroque shield bearing the arms of Bern — a diagonally striped field charged with a walking bear — surmounted by an elaborate floral and acanthus mantling and topped by a large civic crown. A laurel branch flanks the left side of the shield. The circular legend MONETA REIPUBLICÆ BERNENSIS runs along the periphery in raised Roman capitals, separated by a stop, with a finely milled border surrounding the entire design. |

Bern's multiple-ducat issues of the eighteenth century were not currency in any practical sense — they functioned as diplomatic gifts, presentation pieces, and rewards distributed by the city council to foreign dignitaries and military officers whose goodwill the republic needed to cultivate. A ten-ducat piece represented roughly two months' wages for a skilled tradesman, which tells you everything about who was meant to receive one and who was not.
The HMZ classification as 2-203b places this among the documented varieties distinguished by die alignment and edge treatment, details that matter considerably when attributing a coin whose total surviving population across all varieties remains small.
