| Beschrijving voorzijde | At center, the Bernese bear passant to left within an elaborate architectural and heraldic composition; above the bear, a displayed double-headed imperial eagle. A semicircle of seven heraldic shields below — representing the subject territories of Niedersimmental, Frutigen, Burgdorf, Thun, Laupen, Obersimmental, and Aeschi — frames the central device. An outer border contains twenty additional coats-of-arms of Bernese subject territories and allies, including Aarberg, Lenzburg, Brugg, Aarau, Zofingen, Oberhasli, Unterseen, Interlaken, Trachselwald, Murten, Huttwil, Aarburg, Erlach, Aarwangen, Orbe, Grandson, Bipp, Wangen, Büren, and Nidau. The overall composition reflects Bern's territorial power and the high-relief Gothic craftsmanship characteristic of early sixteenth-century Swiss coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Guldiner — a large silver coin developed in the Tyrol during the 1480s — was being adopted across Swiss territories around the turn of the sixteenth century, and Bern's 1501 issue sits at the leading edge of that transition. Trial strikes in gold were produced not for circulation but to present to civic officials or dignitaries for approval of the dies, making survivors essentially proofs of administrative process rather than monetary instruments.
The HMZ 2-171b designation confirms this piece's standing as one of the rarest documented Swiss trial pieces of the period. Fewer than a handful are recorded.
