Aanvullende informatie

Bern's civic coinage in the sixteenth century operated under a degree of monetary independence that most Swiss cantons envied. The guldiner denomination itself was a response to the Venetian trade ducat's dominance in Alpine commerce — southern German and Swiss mints began producing large silver pieces in the late fifteenth century specifically to compete on equal weight terms with gold in long-distance merchant transactions.

HMZ 2-171c is one of the scarcer documented die marriages in the Bern guldiner sequence, distinguished within a series where variant attribution often hinges on minor differences in the shield arrangement or eagle rendering.
