Summary
| Description |
English: "Bundestaler" by Jacob Stampfer (reverse side). Designed in ca. 1546, this medal was very successful and was frequently recast over the later decades of the 16th century.
Thirteen Cantons, numbered 1-13 (in order of precedence top to bottom [order of Fribourg, Solothurn not distinguishable without tincture]):
Seven Associates (in same order of precedence top to bottom)
This is one of the earliest depictions of a "Swiss cross" in heraldic context (an equilateral cross in the center of the cantonal coats of arms); heraldic use of what used to be a field sign attached to banners originates in this period; the first mention of a "Confederate cross" (Eidgenossen Crütz) dates to 1533. The elongated limbs of the Swiss cross as shown here have a length-to-width ratio of about 1.25 to 1.33, i.e. slightly more elongated than the modern standard of 7:6 = 1.17.
