| Aversbeschreibung | The arms of the City of Bern, depicting a walking bear passant to the left on a diagonally divided shield, set within an ornate oval cartouche at the centre of the field. The shield is enclosed by a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential legend reading MONETA REIPUB BERNEN separated by pellets and a small rosette stop. The overall design is finely executed in the milled gold coinage tradition of early 18th-century Swiss municipal issues. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A bold cross pattée occupies the centre of the field, its four arms flared and separated by four foliate ornaments — each comprising a trefoil or oak-leaf spray with small pellet accents — filling the cantons. The cross and decorative elements are enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend DOMINUS PROVIDEBIT, meaning 'The Lord will provide', is separated by pellets, with the date 1718 appearing at the base of the legend, all within a milled outer border. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
A gold kreutzer from Bern in 1717 is a striking anomaly — the kreutzer was a copper or billon denomination throughout the German-speaking world, and striking one in gold served no monetary purpose whatsoever. These were almost certainly presentation pieces, struck to order for dignitaries or as Neujahrstaler-adjacent gifts, a practice Swiss city-states maintained well into the eighteenth century. The HMZ suffix "Au" confirms the gold designation as a deliberate departure from the standard alloy.
