| Reverse description | A formal six-line Latin dedication inscription is displayed within an ornate baroque cartouche flanked by two palm branches and two shell motifs, with a flower garland and scrollwork framing the composition. The arrangement is symmetrical and typical of the decorative lettering panels found on high-denomination Swiss city gold coinage of the early eighteenth century. |
