Comment
Originally struck as a medal for merit in silver, this appears to be a later Restrike issue, impressively produced in gold.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats ND (1700-1798) from City of Zürich made of Gold weighing 34.51g is that it was minted during a time when Switzerland was not yet a unified country, but rather a collection of independent cantons. Despite this, the coin still features the coat of arms of the City of Zürich, which includes a shield with a cross and three crowned lions, symbolizing the city's connection to the Holy Roman Empire.
