| Reverse description | The central field displays a large, intricately engraved baroque monogram composed of intertwined cursive letters, generally interpreted as the cipher of the Bernese republic, rendered in elaborate calligraphic style with flourishing loops and foliate terminals. The circular Latin motto DOMINUS PROVIDEBIT (The Lord will provide) surrounds the device along the upper and lateral periphery. The date 1715 appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by decorative stops. The overall design reflects the refined baroque engraving style characteristic of early eighteenth-century Swiss civic coinage. |
