| Obverse description | Panoramic view of the city of Geneva with sailing vessels on Lake Geneva in the foreground, mountains in the background. Above the cityscape, the IHS monogram within a radiant sun bursts through clouds, with two trumpets flanking the rays. The legend arcs along the upper border, and a three-line inscription occupies the lower exergue. |

| Reverse description | Veritas (Truth), nimbed with rays and seated on clouds, holds a palm frond and an open book of scriptures, descending toward a standing female figure representing the City of Geneva, who reaches out in welcome and stands beside a shield bearing the city arms. Broken chains and a serpent lie trampled underfoot in the lower field. The legend arcs along the upper border, with the engraver's signature in the lower exergue. |
