| Reverse description | The coat of arms of the Canton of Graubünden occupies the central field, featuring the quartered shield with a chamois and the traditional cantonal devices, all within a beaded border. The canton's name in its three official languages — Romansh, German, and Italian — forms the surrounding legend, with the year 1803 (marking the canton's admission to the Swiss Confederation) at the base, a silver purity hallmark to the right of the date, and the individual serial strike number '0087' above the shield. |
