| Reverse description | An elaborate baroque cartouche with scrolling acanthus and shell ornaments frames a five-line religious inscription in the central field. The cartouche is surmounted by a foliate finial and terminates at the base in a single prominent orb or ball. The inscription, reading BENE: / DICTUS SIT / IEHOVA / DEUS, is rendered in bold, well-spaced Roman letters within the cartouche interior. The overall design reflects the refined baroque engraving style characteristic of eighteenth-century Swiss municipal gold coinage. |
