| Reverse description | A displayed double-headed imperial eagle with spread wings, each head uncrowned, surmounted by a single large crown above, all set within a beaded inner circle. The eagle's breast bears an ornamental shield, and the wings display fine feather engraving characteristic of Swiss baroque coinage. The surrounding legend *DOMINE*CONSERVA*NOS*IN*PACE* — 'Lord, preserve us in peace' — is separated by rosette stops and runs within the beaded border, referencing Zürich's status as an independent city-republic within the Holy Roman Empire. |
