| Reverse description | The reverse presents a cartouche of elaborate Baroque scrollwork and foliate ornament enclosing a five-line Latin inscription across the field. Beneath the main inscription, a lower compartment divided by a horizontal rule bears the denomination 2 · DUC ·, with the date omitted from the reverse and appearing instead on the obverse. The overall composition reflects the refined engraving style characteristic of late eighteenth-century Swiss civic coinage. |
