| Reverse description | The reverse displays a five-line Latin inscription in bold Roman capitals centered in the field: DUCATUS / NOVUS / REIPUBLICÆ / TIGURINÆ / 1683, meaning 'New Ducat of the Republic of Zürich.' The text is framed by elaborate baroque decorative elements, including foliate and floral branches curling symmetrically along both sides, a cherub head with spread wings at the apex, and a scrollwork cartouche enclosing the date at the base. The reeded border frames the entire composition, giving the piece a refined and formal character appropriate to the civic coinage of the Zürich Republic. |
