Additional information

Lucerne's civic thalers of this period were minted under the authority of the city's own monetary administration, separate from any cantonal or federal oversight — Switzerland had no unified coinage system until 1850, leaving individual cantons and cities to issue on their own terms. The "SANCTVS to the right" designation distinguishes a specific die orientation variant within the 1714 series, catalogued by Wielandt but absent from KM, which reflects how thoroughly these Swiss civic issues fell outside the standard reference framework for decades.
