| Additional information |
Bern's municipal coinage of the late fourteenth century emerged from the city's growing financial autonomy as a Swiss Confederation member, minting small silver fractions to serve local market transactions at a time when Habsburg-issued coin dominated the region. The Zweier — worth two Angster — sat at the practical floor of silver denomination, worn through hundreds of hands at weekly markets before most examples gave out entirely. Survivors in any definable condition are genuinely scarce.
