| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the arms of Obwalden — a divided shield with a key in the upper half and a plain lower half — set within an ornate cartouche with scrollwork and foliate decoration. The date is divided at the base of the cartouche, with '17' to the left and '32' (or the relevant year) to the right. The circular legend reads MONETA REIP SUBSILVANIÆ SUPERIORIS, identifying this as the coinage of the Republic of Upper Unterwalden, rendered in Latin capital letters. The overall style is characteristic of early eighteenth-century Swiss cantonal minting, with baroque decorative elements framing the shield. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A displayed double-headed imperial eagle occupies the central field, its wings spread and heads turned outward, with a circular numeral '20' superimposed at the center of the eagle's breast indicating the denomination. The eagle's talons clutch orb and sceptre. The surrounding circular legend reads DILEXIT DOMINVS DECOREM IVSTITÆ, a Latin scriptural inscription meaning 'The Lord hath loved the beauty of justice,' rendered in Latin capital letters around the full circumference of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Obwalden was among the smallest of the Swiss forest cantons, and its independent minting activity was correspondingly brief and limited in volume. This 20 Kreuzer issue falls within a tight four-year window that represents one of the canton's last serious coinage efforts before the monetary pressures of the mid-eighteenth century pushed smaller Swiss states toward reliance on larger neighbors' issues. HMZ 1#2-735 is not a common attribution — surviving examples appear infrequently in Swiss specialist sales, and die alignment variants have been noted across the series without formal cataloguing.
