| Reverse description | Half-length figure of Saint Theodore, patron saint of the Valais, shown facing front in bishop's vestments and mitre, holding an upright sword in his right hand and a crozier in his left. The figure is rendered in the Gothic style typical of mid-16th-century Swiss episcopal coinage. The circular Latin legend surrounding the figure invokes the saint as Father of the Fatherland. |
