| Aversbeschreibung | The city arms of Konstanz at centre, consisting of a quartered shield bearing a cross, surmounted by a decorated cartouche and supported by ornamental mantling, all within a beaded inner circle. The Latin legend encircles the design, reading DVCATVS NOVVS CIVI CONSTANTI, identifying this as a new ducat of the city of Constance. The entire design is struck on a square klippe flan with clipped corners, characteristic of early 17th-century German klippe coinage. |

Konstanz issued this piece in 1637, deep into the Thirty Years' War, when the city was navigating an increasingly precarious position between Habsburg pressure and the devastation sweeping the surrounding German territories. The city had returned to Catholicism under imperial coercion in 1548 and never recovered its former status as a free imperial city in the same political sense — yet it continued striking prestige gold into the mid-seventeenth century, largely as ceremonial largesse rather than circulating currency.
Two-ducat multiples of this type were typically presented as gifts to dignitaries or used in diplomatic exchange. Nau's cataloguing of Konstanz municipal coinage remains the authoritative reference for attribution.
