| Beschrijving keerzijde | A double-headed imperial eagle displayed, with wings spread and heads facing outward to either side, occupying the central field within a beaded inner circle. The numeral '3' denoting the denomination is prominently placed on the eagle's breast within an orb or shield. The surrounding Latin legend, interrupted by small cross stops, reads SIT NOE DMI BNDICT, an abbreviated devotional inscription meaning 'Blessed be the name of the Lord.' The composition is typical of Swiss Kreuzers of the period, combining imperial iconography with a pious motto, struck on an irregular hammered flan with slight weakness at the edges. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lucerne's cantonal coinage of the late sixteenth century occupied an awkward political space — the city retained minting rights as a confederate member but operated under constant pressure from Bern and Zurich to harmonize denominations across the Swiss cantons. The 1598 date appearing in the fields rather than the legend is a positioning choice tied to die layout conventions at the Lucerne mint during this decade, and it helps distinguish this subtype within the Wielandt sequence.
The absence of a KM number reflects how incompletely Swiss cantonal minor coinage of this period was documented by Krause — Wielandt 90 remains the authoritative reference for the type.
