| Obverse lettering | GENEVA · CIVITAS · 1593 |
| Reverse description | Central field features a bold cross patée inscribed within a plain inner circle, its arms tapering toward the centre in the style common to late medieval and early modern Swiss municipal coinage. The cross fills the inner circle almost entirely, leaving minimal field visible in the four quarters. A circular Latin legend in gothic lettering encircles the design, reading · G · POST · TENEBRAS · LVX — the Calvinist motto of the city of Geneva, meaning 'After Darkness, Light' — separated by pellet stops. The legend reflects Geneva's identity as a leading centre of the Reformed faith during the late 16th century. |
