| Additional information |
Schwyz — the canton that gave Switzerland its name — struck this Dicken during a period of intense inter-cantonal tension, when the Catholic forest cantons were consolidating identity against the reforming pressure emanating from Zurich and Bern. City and cantonal coinages from Schwyz are relatively scarce in any period; the mint operated intermittently rather than as a standing commercial enterprise, which kept output low and renders survivors from specific years genuinely uncommon. The HMZ 2#2-790c reference places this squarely within a narrow die study sequence.
