| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central ornate cartouche with elaborate Baroque scrollwork surrounds the arms of Uri, depicting a facing bull's head set against a granulated or stippled field within an oval shield. The cartouche is surmounted by a decorative finial and flanked by symmetrical acanthus-scroll ornaments. The divided date 17-36 appears at the lower portion of the cartouche, incorporated within the scrollwork. A peripheral Latin legend encircles the entire design, separated from the inner device by a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Uri struck ducats not as circulating currency but to facilitate trade across the Alpine passes it controlled — the canton's leverage over the Gotthard route made hard gold coin a practical necessity for settling accounts with Italian merchants. By the 1730s, the Talschaft was one of the smallest polities in Europe still issuing gold of this fineness, a holdover from Swiss confederate minting traditions that larger powers had long abandoned in favor of debased alternatives.
The HMZ suffix "d" indicates a specific die variant within the 1736 emission, distinguished in Hürlimann-Müller-Zäch from closely related earlier strikes.
