| Reverse description | A crowned armored figure — likely a representation of the Holy Roman Emperor or an imperial knight — stands facing, rendered in full plate armor in the high Renaissance style. He holds an upright sword in his right hand and an orb in his left, symbolizing imperial authority. The figure is set within a beaded inner circle against a plain field. The surrounding Latin legend CIVITATIS IMPERIALIS, meaning 'of the imperial city,' affirms Zürich's status as a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. |
