tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7967 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 4:32 pm While browsing the newest WAGO catalog, I also noticed that imperial cities in what is now Switzerland (Chur, Luzern, Schaffhausen, Zug, and probably others) were also using the Hapsburg double eagle (with tongues) on silver coins as early as the mid 1500s.

In looking at my HMZ, I don't see the use of this symbol in any of the Swiss cantons before the 16th Century, but it is used by several thereafter as you note. I still can't find the OP's coin though.

Thank you for that. Report this Post to the Staff
