| Reverse description | The Immaculate Virgin Mary stands facing, nimbed and crowned, upon a crescent moon, cradling the Christ Child on her right arm. A radiant glory of rays emanates from behind her figure, filling the field. The surrounding legend AVE • MARIA • GRATIA • PLE : encircles the design, invoking the Angelic Salutation. The composition reflects the Marian devotional iconography characteristic of Counter-Reformation ecclesiastical coinage in the German-speaking Swiss territories. |
