| Obverse description | The obverse displays the quartered arms of the Republic and Canton of Geneva at center, depicting a half-eagle displayed on the dexter half and a key on the sinister half, within an ornate cartouche-style shield surmounted by a radiant sun bearing the Christogram 'IHS'. The initials 'A.B.' appear in the lower field flanking a central pellet, likely denoting the engraver or mint official. The peripheral legend reads 'POST TENE- -BRAS LUX' — the Genevan Reformation motto meaning 'After Darkness, Light' — disposed on either side of the shield in incuse lettering, separated by a beaded inner border running along the coin's rim. |
