| Obverse description | The cantonal arms of Schwyz displayed on an ornate oval baroque shield, party per pale, the dexter half bearing vertical lines (representing gules) and the sinister half charged with a small Greek cross; the shield is surmounted by a decorative crown-like finial. The escutcheon is flanked on either side by a leafy olive or laurel branch forming a wreath, all set within a raised beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The numeral '1' above the inscription 'RAPPEN' and the date '1815' arranged in three lines at the centre of the field, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the base, set within a raised beaded border. The overall design is simple and typographically bold, in keeping with the utilitarian character of early nineteenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. |
