| Obverse description | The obverse features the arms of Geneva — a shield divided per pale with an eagle and a key — surmounted by a radiant sun, placed centrally in the field. Surrounding the arms, a Biblical verse from Psalm 124 is inscribed in relief across multiple lines, with the circular legend naming the commemorated date along the outer border and the year 1840 in the lower exergue. |
