| Beschrijving voorzijde | Displayed double-headed imperial eagle with nimbus, surmounted by an imperial crown spanning both heads. The shield of Lucerne — divided per pale, dexter azure and sinister argent — is positioned in the exergue, flanking the date. The encircling legend runs along the coin's periphery in Latin characters. The eagle is rendered in the characteristic Germanic heraldic style typical of early seventeenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lucerne's monetary authority in the 1630s was navigating the chronic fragmentation of Swiss coinage — each canton effectively its own issuing body, with exchange rates between them a persistent source of commercial friction. This piece represents an experimental response: a gold schilling struck to ducat weight, probing whether a locally denominated coin could be anchored to the internationally accepted ducat standard without formally abandoning Lucerne's own monetary identity.
The absence of a KM number and the "A" superscript on the HMZ citation confirm trial status — this was never released for circulation. Wielandt records only a handful of surviving examples.
