| Obverse description | Central field depicts the ornate armorial shield of Lucerne flanked by Saint Leodegar to the left in full episcopal regalia with mitre and crosier, and Saint Maurice to the right in armour bearing a lance with banner, each accompanied by a putto at their feet; the twin towers of the Collegiate Church of Saint Leodegar rise in the background. The date 1702 appears in the lower exergue, and the Latin legend runs along the outer border within a beaded rim. |

| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic aerial view of the city of Lucerne seen from the south fills the lower field, showing the Reuss River, Chapel Bridge, Musegg Wall, and the towers of Saint Leodegar Church. Above the cityscape, a crowned Madonna with the Christ Child appears in glory amid clouds, accompanied to the right by a putto holding a torch. The Latin legend arcs across the upper field within a beaded rim. |
