| Additional information |
Uri struck these gold pistoles during an exceptionally narrow window, almost certainly financed by the pension money flowing into the canton from foreign military service contracts — the lifeblood of small Swiss forest cantons in the early seventeenth century. The Talschaft had no permanent mint infrastructure of its own, and production relied on contracted arrangements, which accounts for the limited surviving population and the variation in die quality across the type.
Püntener documents fewer than a handful of die combinations for the entire 1613–1616 run.
