| Reverse description | The reverse features a prominent circular outer legend around a beaded border, with a five-line inscription in the central field above a horizontal rule and the date 1801 at the bottom. The design serves as a demonstration of Jean-Pierre Droz's innovative die-multiplication and simultaneous edge-minting technique. |
