| Obverse description | A bold modernist design in which the legend CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA spirals dynamically around the field in large, widely spaced capital letters, evoking a sense of motion and transformation. The denomination 5 FR. is prominently rendered in large numerals and lettering at the center-right of the field. The engraver's signature F. FISCHER appears in small characters near the lower rim. The overall composition eschews traditional portraiture in favor of typographic artistry, reflecting the progressive aesthetic sensibility of the issue. |
