Thaler

正面描述	Central device features the arms of Lucerne — a vertically divided shield displaying a pale — set within an elaborate baroque cartouche adorned with foliate scrollwork. A double-headed imperial eagle with spread wings surmounts the shield at the top of the cartouche. The circumferential Latin legend MONETA NOVA REIPU . LUCERNS . reads around the field, with the date 1698 flanked by six-pointed stars positioned at the top between legend and eagle. The coin's milled border surrounds the entire design.

附加信息	Lucerne struck thalers intermittently throughout the seventeenth century, largely to assert civic prestige rather than meet any pressing commercial demand — the canton's trade volume never required large-denomination silver on the scale that minting implied. By 1698, the Swiss thaler series was already being squeezed by the growing dominance of the Reichsthaler in cross-border transactions, making late issues like this one more ceremonial than functional. Few circulated heavily as a result, which partly explains why survivors tend to present better than their age suggests.
