| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic view of the city of Basel, depicting its skyline with numerous church spires, towers, city walls, the Rhine River with small vessels, and buildings rendered in fine engraved detail across the full field of the coin. Above the cityscape, the Latin legend BASILEA appears within a curved ribbon or banner. At the lower portion of the field, the denomination 1/2 is displayed within an oval cartouche flanked by decorative elements, clearly identifying the fractional value of this pattern piece. The fine execution of the city panorama and the architectural detail reflect the exceptional craftsmanship of the Baroque Swiss medallic tradition. |
