| Obverse description | A rampant lion to the right, holding an escutcheon bearing the quartered coat of arms of Zürich (diagonal halves of blue and white), set upon a hatched field. The lion faces left with tail curled upward. The circular legend DUCATUS REIPUBLICAE TURICENSIS runs around the periphery, interrupted by a six-pointed star at the top. A mintmaster's mark 'B' appears in small letters beneath the shield in the exergue area. The design is rendered in bold relief with fine milled border. |

| Reverse description | A central cartouche framed by two ornate open laurel and floral wreaths with elaborate rococo-style scrollwork, enclosing the three-line legend IUSTITIA ET CONCORDIA with the date 1810 below on a separate line. Two cornucopiae emerge from the lower portion of the decorative frame, flanking a small mintmaster's mark 'B' at the very base. The entire composition is contained within a fine milled border, the overall design exhibiting a refined late Baroque decorative character. |
