| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a large central crowned imperial double-headed eagle with a quartered heraldic shield on its breast, supported by two rampant lions. Surrounding the central achievement, sixteen shield-shaped cantonal and allied coats of arms are arranged in a circle, separated by a beaded border, representing the Swiss Confederation's member states and associated territories. The field is plain with no legend, the entire composition enclosed within a plain outer rim consistent with the hammered technique of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lucerne's civic Thaler series of the mid-sixteenth century was produced at a moment when the Swiss Confederation's internal politics made displays of cantonal solidarity both necessary and commercially useful. The sixteen coats of arms encircling this piece represent the allied territories and subject lordships bound to Lucerne — a deliberate jurisdictional statement struck in silver at a time when the city was asserting administrative authority over its rural hinterlands following the upheavals of the Reformation.
The Wielandt reference 30a distinguishes this as a specific die marriage within the type. Haas L#81 places it among the rarer die combinations of the 1557 emission.
