| Obverse description | Central device features the arms of Schwyz — a vertically striped oval shield — displayed within a wreath of laurel or oak branches that frames the field. The shield bears the distinctive vertical striping characteristic of the Schwyz cantonal arms, surmounted by a small cross at the top. The overall composition is contained within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The design is rendered in a plain, unadorned style typical of early nineteenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and date are inscribed in three lines across the central field: '1' on the uppermost line, 'RAPPEN' on the second line, and '1811' on the third line. The legend is enclosed within a wreath of stylized foliate branches tied at the base, with a decorative floral or foliate ornament at the bottom. A beaded border encircles the entire design. The typography is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the minting practices of early cantonal Swiss copper coinage. |
