背面描述	A bold ornamental cross with broad arms divides the field into quadrants, at the centre of which is a large oval cartouche enclosing an elaborate monogram formed by the letter S intertwined with decorative flourishes, representing the patron saint of Solothurn. The denomination CR·20 appears in the lower portion of the field beneath the cross, flanked by small star or lozenge ornaments. The date 1785 is incorporated into the outer circular legend CUNCTA · PER · DEUM ·, which runs along the periphery, all enclosed within a toothed beaded rim.

附加信息	Solothurn's 20 Kreuzer coinage of the 1780s was produced under the authority of the Catholic city-state at a moment when the Swiss Confederation's monetary system was a patchwork of cantonal issues, with no fewer than a dozen minting authorities producing incompatible denominations. The canton had maintained its own mint since the medieval period, and the aristocratic council guarded that privilege jealously against recurring federalist pressure to rationalize coinage across the Confederation — a consolidation that would not actually arrive until 1850.
