| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a bold ornamental cross formed by four interlaced double-B monograms — the cipher of the Bernese Republic — arranged symmetrically in each quarter, creating an elegant floriated cross composition. The date 1679 appears within the circular Latin legend, which reads BENEDICTVS SIT IEHOVA DEVS (Blessed be Jehovah our God), separated by star stops, all within a beaded inner border matching the obverse. |
