| Obverse description | The cantonal arms of Zürich — a shield divided diagonally, the lower half bearing horizontal lines representing the blue and white colours of the canton — displayed centrally within a symmetrical wreath composed of a laurel branch to the left and a palm branch to the right, tied at the base with a ribbon bearing the mintmaster's initial B. The curved legend CANTON ZURICH arcs along the upper periphery in bold incuse Roman capitals, with the mintmark B appearing at the lower junction of the wreath. |

| Reverse description | The denomination 8 BATZEN is displayed in three lines across the centre of the field, with the numeral 8 at the top, the word BATZEN below in bold Roman capitals, and the four-digit date 1810 beneath, all enclosed within a finely detailed laurel wreath tied at the base with a ribbon bow bearing the mintmaster's initial B. The wreath is rendered in high relief with individually defined olive leaves and berried sprigs, and the composition is set against a plain, polished field with no additional legend. |
