schutzenfester Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 2:38 pm The obverse describes the type of shooting contest and date of shoot. The wappen (crests) near the bottom portion of the medal are, on right: the wappen of the city of Geneve and left is the symbol of Switzerland. The center represents the typical symbol for freedom after the French Revolution. The center wappen is also the wappen for the canton of St. Gallen. The reverse shows an image symbolic of Lady Liberty of Switzerland.She is holding a Swiss flag and shield, with typical city engravings in the background. Report this Post to the Staff
