| Obverse description | The enthroned figure of Helvetia is depicted in left profile, seated and draped in a classical toga, her head crowned with a laurel wreath. Her right arm is raised in a gesture of authority, while her left hand rests upon a heraldic shield bearing the Swiss cross. An agricultural plow and sheaves of wheat are positioned to the right of the figure, symbolizing prosperity, with an alpine mountain range rendered in low relief across the background. The legend HELVETIA arcs along the upper periphery, with the engraver's name KORN inscribed below the figure. |

The central legend is encircled by a symmetrical wreath composed of oak branches to the left and alpine rose (Alpenrose) branches to the right, the two sprays joined at the base by a tied ribbon. The mint mark 'B' for the Bern Mint appears in small characters at the very base of the coin, below the wreath junction. The overall design is contained within a fine beaded inner border. |
