The denomination numeral 56 appears prominently in the central shield of the cross. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded circle, with the devotional legend DEUS AUXILIUM NOSTR arranged around the periphery, interrupted by small stops. |

Fribourg's 56-kreuzer piece is an artifact of the monetary chaos plaguing Swiss cantons in the final years before French invasion. The denomination itself — 56 kreuzers — reflects the fractured, non-decimal accounting systems that individual Swiss cities maintained against all practical logic, each canton effectively running its own monetary policy until the Helvetic Republic forcibly unified the system in 1798.
This two-year window of production ended abruptly when French forces entered Fribourg in March 1798, seizing the cantonal treasury.
