Beschrijving voorzijde Within a beaded inner circle, a crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed, with wings spread, bears a shield on its breast charged with the arms of Lucerne. The date is divided 16–1 (partial year visible) at the sides of the shield. A Latin legend runs around the periphery between the inner rope border and the coin edge, reading MONNO LVCERNESIS or similar, denoting the Lucerne civic mint authority. The overall style is characteristic of early seventeenth-century Swiss hammered coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Lucerne's civic coinage of this period occupied an awkward political space — the city was a subject ally of the Swiss Confederation but maintained its own mint largely as an assertion of municipal standing rather than economic necessity. The Dicken denomination itself had been in decline across Swiss cantons by 1610, and Lucerne's continued striking of the type was already somewhat anachronistic by the time these dies were prepared.

The Haas gap notation is telling. A known die variety unrecorded in one of the two standard references almost certainly reflects late discovery or a small surviving population rather than a documentation error.
