| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic view of the city of Lausanne occupies the central field, featuring prominent landmarks including a castle and cathedral spires, with the Alps visible in the background. A radiant Swiss cross appears at the top above the cityscape. In the lower portion, two heraldic shields — the arms of Lausanne and Vaud — are flanked by grapevines and bunches of grapes. The legend FÊTE FÉDÉRALE DE GYMNASTIQUE curves along the lower rim, with LIBERTÉ ET PATRIE inscribed on the left shield. |
