| Aversbeschreibung | A winged putto (cherub) stands facing in the central field, arms outstretched, supporting with each hand a large ornately mantled heraldic shield: the Imperial eagle to the left and the Nuremberg city arms (an eagle displayed) to the right. The figure is rendered in high relief in a confident early Baroque style. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, reading MONETA NOVA ARGENT and REIPUB NORIBENGENSIS, with a cross pattee as a divider. The date in Roman numerals (M·DC·XXVIII for the illustrated example) appears in the exergue below. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Nuremberg's multi-ducat issues of the late 1620s were struck against the backdrop of the Thirty Years' War, during which the city found itself in an increasingly precarious position — nominally imperial but desperately trying to maintain neutrality between Catholic League and Protestant forces closing in from both directions. Heavy gold pieces like this one were not circulating currency; they functioned as diplomatic gifts, presentation pieces, and portable wealth for the city's merchant patriciate, who had good reason to keep assets liquid and movable.
The .986 fineness is notably high, consistent with Nuremberg's long-held reputation for mint precision. The city's assay standards were among the most rigorously enforced in the Holy Roman Empire throughout the seventeenth century.
