| Reverse description | The denomination POVR / XII / SOLS inscribed in three lines within a raised inner circle, surrounded by the Calvinist motto POST·TENEBRAS·LVX· (After Darkness, Light) in the outer legend, punctuated by a small cross at the top and pellet stops throughout. The raised circle creates a distinct border between the central value cartouche and the outer inscription, a design feature common to Genevan fractional coinage of this period. The beaded rim frames the entire composition. |
