Reverse description Central quartered shield displaying the combined arms of the Bishopric of Sion and the Canton of Valais, featuring a rampant eagle and a series of stars, surmounted by a cross. The shield is set within an oval cartouche with decorative borders. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, reading PRAEF·ET·COM·REIP·VALLESY, with the date numerals split across the field (4 and 5, representing part of the year). The composition reflects the dual temporal and ecclesiastical authority of the Bishop of Sion as Prince-Bishop and Prefect of the Republic of Valais.
