| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Helvetia portrayed as a young woman from the Oberhasli region, her hair arranged in braided tresses and adorned with a garland of edelweiss blossoms. The legend HELVETIA arcs along the upper rim of the coin, while an Alpine mountain range is visible in the field behind the effigy. The portrait, popularly known as 'Vreneli', is rendered in a naturalistic style characteristic of late 19th-century Swiss coinage. |
