| Additional information |
Appenzell Innerrhoden remained one of the few Swiss cantons to strike gold coinage well into the eighteenth century, a privilege jealously guarded as a mark of cantonal sovereignty in the loose confederation. The 1739 date places this piece in a period of relative political calm for the half-canton — the religious division between Innerrhoden and Ausserrhoden had long since hardened, with Innerrhoden retaining its Catholic administration and the minting rights that came with it.
Faesch records only a handful of die marriages for this type. The Fr#2 designation confirms its standing as the foundational gold reference for the canton.
