| Beschrijving voorzijde | A rampant lion passant guardant to the left supports the oval shield of Zürich — per pale Azure and Argent — positioned centrally in the field. The lion, rendered in bold relief with naturalistic musculature and a curling tail, serves as the heraldic supporter of the city arms. The circular legend surrounds the device, reading REIPUBLICAE TIGURINAE DUCATUS, with the lettering disposed in two arcs along the upper and lower periphery of the coin. The milled border frames the entire composition with a fine denticular edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zürich's ducats of this period circulated within a monetary system that was stubbornly resistant to the standardization efforts sweeping much of Europe — the city maintained its own weight standards and fineness specifications well into the eighteenth century, making these coins a deliberate assertion of civic independence rather than simple commerce. The .986 fineness slightly exceeds the Venetian ducat standard from which the denomination descended, a choice that gave Zürich's gold a marginal premium in international trade.
The fifty-year span of this type reflects remarkable die continuity for a municipal coinage of this scale.
