| Obverse description | Draped bust of a curly-haired Alpine herdsman facing right, wearing a traditional cowl; the figure is sometimes erroneously identified as William Tell. The engraver's name P. BVRKHARD appears in the lower field. The encircling legend reads CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA. The portrait is rendered in a naturalistic, sculptural style characteristic of early twentieth-century Swiss medallic art. |
