| Beschrijving keerzijde | An ornate floriated cross with decorative terminals fills the central field, its four arms embellished with fleur-de-lis or trefoil motifs typical of Geneva's civic coinage of this period. The cross is contained within the field, with the Geneva Reformation motto appearing in the surrounding Latin legend. The overall design reflects the city's Protestant identity and the artistic conventions of early seventeenth-century Swiss hammered billon coinage. |

Geneva's early billon small change from this period was produced under the authority of a city still consolidating its identity as an independent Reformed republic, less than a century removed from its break with the Bishop of Geneva. The Quart circulated alongside heavier denominations in a monetary system that Geneva maintained largely to assert civic autonomy rather than for any economic efficiency — the purchasing power of three deniers was negligible even then.
The HMZ reference places this firmly within the documented Helvetic series, though survivors in even modest condition are scarce; billon this light wore quickly and was frequently melted when metal values shifted.
