| Beschrijving voorzijde | The arms of Geneva displayed on a quartered shield occupying the central field: the dexter half bears a crowned eagle displayed, while the sinister half depicts a key, both emblems of the city's historic heraldry. Above the shield, the Christogram IHS is set within a radiant sun with diverging rays, a traditional device of the Genevan Republic. The circular legend surrounding the design reads REP. ET CANTON DE GENEVE, separated from the inner field by a beaded border. The overall composition is rendered in a restrained neoclassical style typical of early nineteenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Geneva struck billon coinage under its own cantonal authority until the Federal Coinage Act of 1850 forced Swiss cantons to surrender monetary independence to the newly centralized Confederation. The 1825 issue came during the final quarter-century of that autonomy, a period when Geneva's coinage was already an anachronism — the city had been absorbed into France in 1798, used French decimal currency for over a decade, and only resumed cantonal issues after Napoleon's defeat. The sol-and-denier system it returned to was feudal in origin, stubbornly pre-metric.
