| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the rampant lion of Zürich faces left, holding a sword erect in its right forepaw and resting its left forepaw on the city's quartered shield bearing the characteristic diagonal bicolor arms. The lion is rendered with fine detail in the mane and musculature, characteristic of late 17th-century Swiss die-cutting. Surrounding the inner circle, the Latin legend DOMINE CONSERVA NOS IN PACE (Lord, preserve us in peace) runs along the periphery, separated by small lozenge stops, with a milled border encircling the entire field. |
