Reverse description Three oval cartouches displayed side by side depict heraldic supporters and shields: a knight at left, a rampant ibex at center representing the canton of Graubünden, and an armored figure at right. A clasped-hands motif emerges from clouds above, symbolizing fraternal unity, while a floral and laurel wreath frames the lower portion of the field. The engraver's name SIBER appears in small letters below the central cartouche.
