Reverse description Centered shield bearing the Swiss Federal cross on a quartered ground, flanked by two native Alpine botanical sprays: a branch of edelweiss (Leontopodium nivale) with four blossoms to the left, and a branch of rusty-leaved alpenrose (Rhododendron ferrugineum) with open flowers to the right. The denomination 5 Fr. appears in the upper field above the shield, with the mint year and mint mark (B for Bern) inscribed below. The overall design is formally heraldic, framed by the floral motifs in a balanced, symmetrical composition.
