| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic perspective view of the 1602 Escalade siege of Geneva, with scaling ladders propped against the city ramparts. The inner field shows the ladders and fortification wall in relief, evoking the night assault by Savoyard troops. Along the outer ring, a continuous panorama of Genevan townhouses and rooftops is depicted in low relief, forming a cityscape that encircles the composition. The engraver's name 'P . A . ZUBER' appears in the lower portion of the legend, flanking the commemorative inscription. |
