Comment
SCWC lists KM#80 as 35mm and KM#81 as 31mm. The coin pictured above measures 33mm. All these examples appear to be made with the same dies (backward N's on the reverse). The variation in diameter is due to the minting process of the time and should not be considered a separate coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler 1652 from City of Zürich is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "Z" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Stadt Zürich" (City of Zurich) and signifies the coin's origin.
