| Obverse description | Panoramic view of Lausanne featuring Saint-Maire Castle on the left and the Cathedral in the centre, with a Swiss cross depicted above in the field. Below the cityscape, two heraldic shields are displayed — the left bearing the Vaud cantonal motto 'LIBERTÉ ET PATRIE' and the right featuring an eagle — flanked by grapevine branches. The circular legend reads 'FÊTE FÉDÉRALE DE GYMNASTIQUE' along the lower portion of the rim. |

An olive branch appears in the lower right field. The date '1909' is inscribed to the left, and the legend 'LAUSANNE' arcs across the upper field. A engraver's signature is visible in the lower exergue. |
