| Reverse description | Central field bears the Reformation motto POST TENEBRAS LUX arranged in three lines within an ornate baroque cartouche of scrollwork and foliage, with the denomination numeral 21 displayed at the base. At the top of the design, a radiant IHS Christogram surmounts a facing mask or grotesque head flanked by two small crowns, all serving as a decorative finial above the cartouche. The overall composition reflects the strong Protestant identity of the Genevan Republic. |
