| Additional information |
Bern's municipal coinage of the late seventeenth century operated under the authority of the city's own mint, which functioned independently of the Swiss Confederation — each canton and city retained the right to strike its own coin well into the modern era. The 10 Kreuzer denomination occupied the practical middle ground of everyday commerce, and Bernese issues from this decade are notable for inconsistent die alignment, a known characteristic of the city mint's production during this period.
