| Obverse description | A male gymnast in athletic stance strides forward to the left, carrying a pole, rendered in high relief. Behind him, a standing figure of Helvetia holds aloft the Swiss flag. The legend LAUSANNE arcs across the upper field and the date 1909 appears in the lower left, with the engraver's signature visible in the lower right exergue area. |

| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic view of the city of Lausanne occupies the central field, with prominent church spires and civic buildings in relief. A radiant Swiss cross rises above the skyline at the top. In the lower portion, two heraldic shields — the Vaud cantonal arms bearing the motto LIBERTÉ ET PATRIE and the Lausanne civic arms with an eagle — are flanked by foliate sprays. The circular legend arcs along the lower rim. |
