| Beschrijving voorzijde | Concave uniface Schüsselpfennig (bracteate-style dump) featuring the heraldic bear of St. Gallen passant to the left in the center of the field, rendered in relief. The bear is depicted in a stylized manner characteristic of early 18th-century Swiss municipal coinage. The central device is encircled by a wreath of stylized foliate branches, with a beaded inner border running along the periphery of the coin. No legend or inscription is present, the design relying entirely on the civic heraldic emblem for identification. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
St. Gallen occupied an awkward political position in the early eighteenth century — a free imperial city administratively distinct from, yet geographically entangled with, the powerful Abbey of St. Gallen. The city maintained its own coinage rights precisely to assert that distinction. These bracteate-style schüsselpfennige, struck on thin concave flans from a single die, were a deliberately archaic format by 1709, already centuries out of fashion elsewhere in the Swiss Confederation.
At 0.25 g the silver content was negligible even by billon standards of the period.
