Beschrijving voorzijde The shield of the Basel city arms — displaying the distinctive Basel crosier (staff) — is depicted centrally within a beaded inner circle, framed by ornamental scroll-work at the top and sides of the shield. The entire device is set within a raised circular border, around which the Latin legend MONETA • NOVA • BASILEENSIS runs continuously, identifying this as a new coin of Basel.

Aanvullende informatie

Basel's klippe issues of the early 1620s were emergency siege coinage in the broadest sense — not struck under military duress, but produced as the city navigated the financial turbulence of the Thirty Years' War then consuming the surrounding Holy Roman Empire. The square-cut flan was a deliberate administrative choice, distinguishing city-authorized emergency issues from regular round minting, and allowing rapid production without full die preparation overhead.

The Winter references separate two die marriages across the 1623–1624 span, suggesting continuous if intermittent production rather than a single campaign.
