| Obverse lettering | FR 20 CONFŒDERATIO HELVETICA 1993 B |
| Reverse description | A large draped bust of Paracelsus, the Swiss-German Renaissance physician and alchemist, facing left, occupying the majority of the field in a finely engraved portrait style. The name 'PARACELSUS' curves along the left rim, while the birth and death years '1493-1541' are inscribed vertically along the right rim. The engraver's signature 'Jost' appears in small letters at the lower right of the portrait, near the truncation. The portrait captures Paracelsus with curled hair and a high-collared garment, rendered with fine detail and depth. |
