| Additional information |
Glarus was among the smallest and poorest cantons to issue its own coinage following the collapse of the Helvetic Republic, and the peculiar 3-Schilling / 9-Rappen denomination reflects the awkward dual-accounting systems still in use across Swiss cantons in the early nineteenth century, where Schillings and Rappen coexisted without clean conversion. The canton's independent minting rights lasted only a few years before federal monetary consolidation rendered such local issues obsolete.
The HMZ census records only a single die pairing for this type.
