| Reverse description | A male figure dressed in medieval armour, bearing a shield with the Zürich coat of arms on his chest, kneels on one knee in high relief at centre. He holds a long staff weapon in his right hand while raising his left hand with an open palm, in the traditional Rütlischwur oath-taking gesture. The engraver's signature 'FISCHER' appears in small letters at the lower left of the field. |
