| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a wreath composed of oak and alpine rose branches, tied at the base with a ribbon, the denomination and date are displayed in two lines in the central field: the fraction ½ Fr. above and the four-digit year below. The naturalistic botanical wreath, rendered in fine relief, frames the inscription symmetrically and fills the reverse to the inner border of the coin's reeded edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The copper-nickel version of this denomination replaced the earlier silver-composition pieces beginning in 1968, a transition driven by the global silver shortage of the 1960s that forced mints across Europe and North America to abandon precious metal in subsidiary coinage. Switzerland had maintained silver in its circulating franc coinage longer than most industrialized nations, making the 1968 changeover a significant — if quietly implemented — monetary policy shift. The identical design across the transition was deliberate, intended to ease public acceptance of the debased alloy.
Dies for this type were produced with exceptional consistency over the decades, which is why even well-circulated examples rarely show the kind of design degradation common in longer-running series.
