Her right arm is raised and her left hand rests upon an oval shield bearing the Swiss federal cross. Agricultural emblems comprising a plow and wheat ears appear to the right of the figure, while an Alpine mountain range forms the background. The engraver's signature 'A. BOVY' appears in the field, with the national legend 'HELVETIA' inscribed along the upper periphery. |
