| Beschrijving keerzijde | A four-line Latin votive inscription — DOMINE / CONSERVA / NOS IN / PACE — occupies the central field, with the date 1646 placed below in the lower portion of the composition, all enclosed within a finely detailed wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. The lettering is rendered in bold, well-spaced Roman capitals consistent with the civic Baroque engraving tradition of Zürich. The border of the coin features a toothed or beaded inner rim encircling the wreath, giving the design a formal, monumental character. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zürich struck double thalers of this type during a period when the city was navigating the final, exhausting phase of the Thirty Years' War — a conflict in which the Swiss Confederacy formally secured its independence from the Holy Roman Empire at the Peace of Westphalia just two years later, in 1648. Large-denomination silver issues like this one served the city's considerable mercantile and diplomatic needs, circulating among a merchant class that demanded coins of unimpeachable weight and purity.
The Wunderly reference draws a blank on this particular piece, suggesting it escaped that collection entirely — notable given how thoroughly Wunderly documented Zürich civic coinage.
