| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Lucerne cantonal arms displayed on an ornate oval shield of baroque character, flanked symmetrically by intertwined palm and laurel branches. A decorative shell ornament surmounts the shield at the apex, while a bee is positioned at the base in the lower field. The composition is rendered in high relief with pronounced baroque styling typical of late 18th-century Swiss municipal coinage. The field surrounding the shield is plain, and the overall design conveys civic heraldic dignity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lucerne retained the right to strike its own cantonal coinage well into the late eighteenth century, and these trial pieces in silver represent the testing of dies intended for base-metal circulation issues — a standard practice when new punches were cut and the engraver or mint master needed to verify sharpness before committing to a full production run in the intended alloy. The date range spanning over a decade suggests the dies saw intermittent use or were periodically re-examined.
The density of reference numbers assigned to this piece — six distinct catalog systems — reflects how intensively Swiss cantonal coinage has been studied relative to its small surviving populations.
