| Additional information |
The original 1492 four-ducat piece from Berne belongs to a period when the Swiss Confederation was consolidating cantonal coinage authority, with Berne among the most economically assertive of the member states. This replica, struck in 14-karat gold at a fraction of the prototype's weight, is souvenir manufacture rather than numismatic issue — produced to evoke the type without any pretense of monetary function.
