| Aversbeschreibung | A small imperial eagle displayed above the plain, unadorned archaic shield of Schwyz, rendered in a bold and archaic Gothic style characteristic of early sixteenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. The shield occupies the lower central field, entirely blank, emphasizing the heraldic simplicity of the Schwyz arms. The eagle, with wings spread, surmounts the shield as a symbol of imperial authority. A Latin legend encircles the design within the outer border, reading MONETA :*: NO :*: SVITENSIS :★:, identifying this as a new coinage of Schwyz. The overall composition is struck on a somewhat irregular flan, as is typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A prominent cross fleury occupies the central field, its four arms each terminating in stylized fleur-de-lis finials, rendered in bold relief with a decorative central boss at the crossing. The cross is contained within a beaded inner circle, with a second outer circle framing the surrounding Latin legend. The arms of the cross are elegantly proportioned, reflecting the Franco-Burgundian artistic influence common to Swiss gold coinage of the early sixteenth century. The peripheral legend SALVE. CRVX. SANCTA. ET. bENEDICT, invoking the Holy Cross, runs around the outer border in clear Gothic-influenced Roman capitals. The overall design is typical of the devotional reverse types employed on contemporary Swiss cantonal gold issues. |

Schwyz occupies a peculiar place in Swiss monetary history: as one of the founding cantons of the Confederation, it held the political prestige to issue gold coinage but rarely had the economic infrastructure to do so at scale. This scudo d'oro belongs to a small window of production, almost certainly connected to the enormous influx of Italian coin types and trade patterns following Swiss mercenary dominance in northern Italy after the campaigns of the early sixteenth century. The Milanese and Venetian gold trade ran directly through confederate hands.
Surviving examples are genuinely rare. HMZ records only a handful of auction appearances across the twentieth century.
