| Additional information |
Zürich's Schilling coinage of this period was issued under the city-canton's own monetary authority, independent of any imperial oversight — a privilege jealously maintained throughout the eighteenth century. The fifty-year production window spanning 1718 to 1768 reflects continuous demand rather than a single authorization, with the type being restruck across multiple administrations of the Zürich mint at the Helmhaus.
The HMZ and Wunderly references each document minor die variations across the run, and collectors working this series closely will find meaningful differences in the shield rendering and lettering between earlier and later strikes.
