| Obverse description | Crowned and helmeted oval shield bearing the arms of the Abbey of Beromünster, flanked by a laurel branch to the left and a palm frond to the right. The heraldic achievement is rendered in the Baroque style typical of early eighteenth-century Swiss ecclesiastical coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, referencing the Count of Lenzburg as founder of the collegiate church of Beromünster, with the date 720 appearing in the legend as an abbreviated reference to the abbey's traditional foundation year. |
