| Obverse description | The obverse presents a bold, modernist graphic design divided diagonally into two contrasting fields: a highly polished mirror-like left field and a darker, textured right field. The large numeral '5' appears prominently in the lower centre, accompanied by the denomination indicator 'FR' to its right. The legend 'CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA', denoting the Swiss Confederation, is inscribed vertically along the right margin in bold capital letters. The stark geometric composition, devoid of figurative imagery, reflects the contemporary design aesthetic favoured by the Swiss Federal Mint during this period. |
