Reverse description Full-length standing figure of Lucius Munatius Plancus, the legendary Roman founder of the colony at Basel, depicted in Roman military armour, holding a mace in his right hand and a shield in his left. The figure is rendered in a Renaissance style typical of mid-16th century Swiss coinage. The surrounding circular legend attributes the coin's iconography to Plancus as the celebrated illustrator of ancient Roman origins.
