Ducat Huldrych Zwingli

Zürich struck gold ducats commemorating Zwingli selectively and infrequently, using them largely as presentation pieces for civic dignitaries rather than circulating currency. The 1719 issue falls within a period of Reformed Protestant self-assertion in the Swiss Confederation, when Zürich's ruling council still traded heavily on its identity as the city of the Reformation — nearly two centuries after Zwingli died at Kappel in 1531, fighting in the front ranks of his own troops.

The missing Hürlimann and Divo/Tobler numbers suggest this piece sits outside the main documented runs, possibly a variant striking or a later restrike from original or reworked dies.
