Get a good magnifier and look at the "cartouche"... the rectangle under the horses hooves; not the fence, but to the right of the last to right fence post.
I tried to blow up your picture and couldn't be sure, but it may have a purity/weight marking there... otherwise it seems an odd out of place bit.
Does it say anything... if so, what?
>>>edit>>> Your image appears to indeed have markings in that cartouche... the last letter appears to be a small case "g". I would assume it to be a gold puriy/weight mark... possibly a commemmorative token with the same specs as the more common 20 Franc Swiss gold Helvetia?
