| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly detailed relief depiction of the Matterhorn (Monte Cervino), the iconic pyramidal peak situated on the Swiss-Italian border, rendered with precise topographic fidelity showing rocky ridgelines, glacial features, and snowfields. The mountain rises prominently from a gently contoured base occupying the lower portion of the field. The bilingual legend MATTERHORN · CERVIN arcs along the upper periphery in bold capital letters, giving the mountain's names in German and French respectively. The engraver's signature BUNDI appears in small characters in the lower right field. The overall composition is austere and monumental, befitting a commemorative issue celebrating one of Switzerland's most celebrated natural landmarks. |
