| Obverse description | The Basel basilisk, the legendary city emblem depicted as a crowned dragon-cockerel hybrid with spread wings, stands facing right at centre, its serpentine tail coiled beneath it. The creature supports with its claws an ornate baroque cartouche bearing the oval arms of Basel — a diagonal black staff on white — positioned at lower left in the field. The circumferential Latin legend, separated by pellets, reads * DOMINE · CONSERVA · NOS · IN · PACE (Lord, preserve us in peace), rendered in bold capital letters along the inner border of the reeded rim. |
