| Reverse description | The denomination and date are presented within an ornate baroque cartouche occupying the central field. The multi-line Latin legend reads MON. PRINCIP. TERRIT. S. GALLI, with the date 1781 below and the numeral 15 at the base of the cartouche, denoting the 15 Kreuzer value. The cartouche is decorated with scrollwork and foliate flourishes in the surrounding field, consistent with the ecclesiastical coinage style of the Abbey of Saint Gall under Prince-Abbot Beda Angehrn. |
