| Reverse description | Bust of Saint Maurice facing right, depicted with a nimbus, clad in a visored helmet and full plate armour bearing a prominent cross on the breastplate. The saint holds an upright sword in his raised right hand, rendered in the devotional heraldic style typical of early seventeenth-century Swiss municipal coinage. A stop-separated legend encircles the design, identifying the figure as the patron saint of Lucerne. |
