The surrounding circular Latin legend reads DOMINE ∗ SERVA ∗ NOS ∗ IN ∗ PACE, meaning 'Lord, keep us in peace,' with the abbreviated date 61 (for 1561) appearing in the legend at the top of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The monetary union of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden — the three founding forest cantons of the Confederation — was a practical arrangement born of persistent frustration with the fractured coinage circulating across the alpine passes. By the mid-sixteenth century, each canton theoretically retained its own minting rights, yet joint issues like this half thaler were struck to facilitate trade along the St. Gotthard corridor, where a coherent medium of exchange mattered more than cantonal pride.
The HMZ 2#954d attribution places this among a small run of dated varieties. Surviving examples in any condition are genuinely uncommon.
