Zurich. Canton gold "Ehepfennig" (Marriage Token) ND (c. Mid-1600s) AU (excessive scratches), SM-Unl. (cf. SM-381 for obverse; SM-387 for reverse). 32mm. 10.19gm. Obverse by F. Fecher, reverse by H. J. Bullinger III (?). Sharply struck and lustrous with a lemon-gold chroma, bearing a quite handsome overall appearance despite numerous cleaning scratches on both the obverse and reverse. An interesting and very rare gold token, the reverse die of which has been found paired with an obverse dated 1681, although the combination of the two here appears to be unpublished.
