| Reverse description | The denomination SIX SOLS is inscribed in two lines within a raised oval cartouche, itself enclosed within an elaborate baroque scrollwork surround with foliate and floral ornaments at the top and bottom. The initials I·G appear below the cartouche, likely denoting the engraver or mint official. The date 1765 is positioned at the bottom of the field below the cartouche. The Genevan Reformation motto POST TENEBRAS LUX runs in a circular legend around the periphery, punctuated by pellets, within a milled border. |
