| Obverse description | Double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the center of the field, with wings spread and the numeral '10' inscribed on an oval shield overlying the eagle's breast, denoting the coin's denomination. The eagle's heads are crowned and face outward to either side. Below the eagle, an ornate foliate spray or oak-branch device occupies the lower field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the Latin circular legend reading '+ MONE + NOVA + DOMVS + DEI + CVRIEN + 1 5' around the periphery, the date split across the legend. |

| Additional information |
The League of God's House (Gotteshausbund) was one of three leagues that eventually merged to form the Graubünden canton, and by 1568 it retained just enough autonomous authority to strike its own coinage — a right that would effectively lapse within a generation as monetary functions consolidated across the Three Leagues. Issues of this type are scarce simply because the League's independent minting activity was brief and low-volume, not because of any single catastrophic event.
HMZ 1#2-510a represents one of the few silver denominations attributable solely to the Gotteshausbund rather than to a joint emission of the confederated leagues.
