The shield is flanked on either side by oak and laurel branches. The circular legend reads CANTON DE VAUD, with the commemorative date 10 AOUT 1845 incorporated into the design, referencing the canton's entry into the Swiss Confederation. |

| Reverse description | A standing warrior figure, rendered in a classical style, faces slightly left, holding a halberd in the left hand and bearing a shield inscribed XXII CANT in the right, symbolizing the twenty-two cantons of the Swiss Confederation. The denomination 1 FRANC appears in the lower field, with the legend CONFEDERATION SUISSE disposed around the periphery. The overall composition reflects the allegorical tradition common to mid-nineteenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. |
