| Obverse description | Panoramic view of the St. Gotthard tunnel portal in high relief, with a steam locomotive emerging from the arched masonry entrance onto tracks in the foreground. A mountainous landscape flanks the portal, and a radiant sun bursts from behind the peaks in the upper field. The legend is inscribed on a decorative scrolled banner arching across the upper portion of the field. |
