| Obverse description | The Genevan civic arms — a shield party per pale, dexter displaying the Imperial eagle and sinister bearing a key — enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A radiant sun with straight rays appears at the top of the shield, serving as a crest above the arms. The circular legend REPUBLIC GENEVEN runs around the periphery between the inner circle and the milled border. |

| Reverse description | A large radiant sun with alternating long and short straight rays dominates the field, with the Christogram IHS displayed within a beaded central roundel at the sun's core. The Calvinist motto POST TENEBRAS LUX, meaning 'After darkness, light,' together with the initial G and the date 1750, forms the circular legend around the periphery between the rays and the milled border. |
