| Reverse description | Saint Leodegar (Leodegarius), patron saint and first bishop of Lucerne, is depicted enthroned and facing front, his head nimbed and crowned with a mitre. He is vested in episcopal robes with an ornate mantle and bears a crosier in his right hand; in his left hand he holds an auger or hand drill, his iconographic attribute alluding to his martyrdom, while a book is tucked beneath his left arm. The surrounding legend in Roman capitals identifies him by name and title, separated by a cross stop. |
