背面描述	A crowned imperial double-headed eagle with wings displayed fills the central field, enclosed within a linear inner circle. The eagle, a symbol of Geneva's status as an imperial free city, is depicted with spread wings and two distinct crowned heads. The Genevan Reformation motto and the date of issue appear in the circumferential Latin legend, separated from the eagle by the inner circle, with a dentilated border framing the entire design.

附加信息	Geneva's monetary system in the mid-eighteenth century was a fractional tangle, with the denier, sol, and florin coexisting alongside French and Savoyard currency that circulated freely across the city's borders. The 9 deniers denomination — equivalent to 3 quarts in the local accounting system — addressed the everyday small transactions that larger coins could not efficiently handle in a commercial republic whose banking reputation already far exceeded its physical size. Billon coinage of this type was notoriously susceptible to debasement pressure during the period, and Geneva's city council repeatedly revisited the alloy specifications across the thirty-two year run of this type.
