| Reverse description | Central device consists of a bold Swiss cross with ornately decorated arms, each quadrant of the cross filled with quatrefoil and foliate scroll motifs in relief, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The legend DIE CONCORDIER CANTONE DER SCHWEIZ encircles the design between the beaded circle and the milled outer rim, reading continuously around the periphery. The overall composition is rendered in a clean, classical style consistent with early nineteenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. |
