| Obverse description | Two standing full-length female figures joined at the hands in the field: a winged Victoria on the left holding a palm branch, and an allegory of Architecture on the right holding a set square and a scroll. A stork stands to the right. War trophies — including spears, a cannon barrel, and a cannonball — are scattered in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | A radiant oval cartouche bearing the Tetragrammaton in Hebrew script occupies the upper field, from which two hands emerge holding a crowned, flaming heart suspended by a chain. A bird's-eye view of the city of Zürich fills the middle ground. To the left, an obelisk surmounted by a rooster; to the right, a grapevine with a dove perched among the branches and a snail below. A skull and bones lie in the lower foreground. |
