| Obverse description | Central field depicts the Basel basilisk — the city's heraldic dragon — passant to the left, with spread wings and a curling tail, rendered in high relief in a naturalistic Baroque style. The creature stands above a decorative cartouche bearing the city's coat of arms, featuring a stylized crozier. The surrounding legend reads *DOMINE·CONSERVA·NOS·IN·PACE (Lord, preserve us in peace), rendered in Latin capitals with dot separators. The coin is struck within a closely milled border. |
