Beschrijving keerzijde Denomination and date inscribed in three bold lines within an ornate rococo cartouche of asymmetrical acanthus and shell scrollwork, surmounted by a fan-shaped foliate crown at the apex. The legend reads 'I / RAPEN / 1795' in large, well-spaced capital letters occupying the central field. The cartouche is enclosed within a beaded border, with additional scrollwork filling the lower portion of the field, characteristic of the Baroque-influenced engraving style of late 18th-century Lucerne municipal coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Lucerne struck copper Rappen continuously through the final decades of the Old Confederation, a period of mounting fiscal pressure as the Swiss cantons struggled to maintain independent monetary systems against French economic encroachment. The city's mint rights, jealously guarded since the medieval period, would survive only until 1798, when the Helvetic Republic abolished cantonal coinage authority entirely and Lucerne's independent issues ceased almost overnight.
