| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, the Jesuit monogram IHS surmounted by a cross and flanked by radiating glory rays occupies the upper field, above a detailed frontal view of the Fribourg Jesuit College building depicted in fine relief. The date 1840 appears in the lower field beneath the building, with the denomination indicator 'I' at the very bottom between two small five-pointed stars. The circular legend DOMINUS SPES NOSTRA ('The Lord is our hope') runs along the outer border between the beaded rim and the inner circle. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece was struck for the Collège Saint-Michel as a form of internal scholastic currency — awarded to students as prizes or used within the school's economy rather than circulating in trade. The Jesuits had operated Saint-Michel since 1582, and such token-like issues were a documented practice in Swiss Catholic educational institutions. By 1840, Swiss cantonal coinage was entering its final decade before federal consolidation eliminated these local issues entirely.
The billon composition is telling: this was never intended to pass at face value alongside silver.
