| Reverse description | A plain cross with flared terminals divides the field into four quarters, with the sacred Christogram IHS enclosed within a central circle at the intersection. The mint mark appears at the top of the surrounding legend, which reads the Calvinist motto POST TENEBRAS LVX (After Darkness, Light), separated by pellets. The entire composition is contained within a beaded border, reflecting Geneva's Reformed Protestant identity as expressed through its civic coinage. |
