| Beschrijving voorzijde | The quartered arms of the Republic of Geneva displayed on a shield at centre, the dexter half bearing the Imperial eagle and the sinister half the key of Saint Peter, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Above the shield, the Christogram IHS appears within a rayed sun symbol, representing the city's Protestant faith. The circumferential legend reads RESPUBLICA GENEVENSIS, separated by a dot, running along the outer rim between the inner circle and the milled edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Geneva's billon small change of this period was produced under the monetary authority of the Republic, which maintained its independence from both the Swiss Confederation and the Duchy of Savoy — a precarious position that would last only until 1798, when French Revolutionary forces absorbed the city. The 3 sols denomination served the everyday commercial needs of a city whose banking reputation already far outpaced its political size.
Billon coinage from Geneva in this era is frequently found heavily worn, a consequence of sustained local circulation in a densely mercantile urban economy.
