| Beschrijving voorzijde | Five-line Latin inscription displayed within an ornate baroque cartouche, its scrolling foliate and shell-work frame occupying virtually the entire coin field. The legend reads DVCATVS / REIPVBLICE / LVCERNEN / ASIS and the date 1725, arranged in horizontal lines within the cartouche. The elaborate rococo-influenced border decoration features asymmetrical acanthus-like scrollwork characteristic of early eighteenth-century Swiss civic coinage. No portrait or figurative element appears on this face; the lettering itself constitutes the primary design. The overall composition is boldly executed in high relief against a smooth field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lucerne's gold ducats of this period were struck under the authority of a patrician oligarchy that had consolidated power following the upheavals of the Thirty Years' War, when Swiss city-states aggressively reasserted fiscal independence through coinage. The 1725 issue falls within a stretch of Lucerne's monetary history defined more by civic prestige than commercial necessity — the ducat served diplomatic and mercantile functions that the canton's silver issues could not.
The Wielandt reference remains the definitive study for Lucerne's cantonal coinage, and the 648c designation in HMZ signals a specific die pairing within what is a modestly produced series.
