| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length frontal effigy of Saint Martin of Tours vested in episcopal pontificals, wearing a mitre and holding a crozier in his left hand, set within a rope-bordered inner circle. The saint is depicted in a hieratic, stylized manner characteristic of early seventeenth-century Swiss hammered coinage. The surrounding circular Latin legend identifies him as bishop and patron saint. |

Uri was the smallest of the original Swiss forest cantons, yet it maintained its own coinage rights fiercely. The Dicken series of this period was struck at a moment when the canton's strategic position controlling the Saint Gotthard Pass gave it outsized political leverage relative to its population — that pass was the most direct Alpine route between northern Europe and Italy, and the revenue it generated funded exactly these kinds of sovereignty-asserting monetary issues.
Production across the 1617–1622 window was sporadic rather than continuous, tied to intermittent arrangements with neighboring minting facilities rather than a permanent cantonal mint.
