This is a medal depicting the patron saints of Zürich, Switzerland, Felix and Regula, along with their servant Exuperantius.
The medal features a depiction of the three saints, who were martyred in the 3rd century for their Christian faith.
The Latin inscription on the medal, "SIGILLUM: CIVIUM: TURICENSIVM," translates to "Seal of the Citizens of Zurich".
The design is based on the city's historical seal, which dates back to at least 1347.
Felix and Regula are believed to have been members of the Theban Legion and escaped a massacre in what is now Switzerland.
