| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée occupies the central field, with a stylized fleur-de-lis or lily ornament filling each of the four angles between the arms of the cross, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding marginal legend, in Antiqua script with punctuation stops and separators, invokes Berthold of Zähringen, founder of Bern. The design reflects the late medieval Swiss civic tradition of commemorating the city's legendary founder on its coinage. |
