| Reverse description | Central field displays the denomination '1' above the word 'BATZEN' in bold serif lettering, separated from the date below by a horizontal rule. The date (e.g. 1799) appears in the lower portion of the inner circle. Surrounding the inner beaded or raised circle is a decorative border composed of alternating pairs of stylized leaves and small asterisks or pellets, evenly distributed around the circumference. The outermost rim is reeded, consistent with milled coinage of the Helvetic Republic. The overall composition is crisp and formally arranged in the neoclassical style prevalent at the turn of the 19th century. |
