| Obverse lettering | MONETA NOVA AVREA BASILEENSIS |
| Reverse description | Central device depicts a displayed Imperial double-headed eagle with wings spread and talons extended, executed in bold relief against a flat hammered field, bearing an orb at its breast — emblematic of Imperial authority. The eagle's two heads are turned outward to left and right respectively, crowned, with detailed feather work across the wings and body. The circumferential Latin legend DOMINE CONSERVA NOS IN PACE, meaning 'Lord, preserve us in peace', encircles the device, punctuated by a quatrefoil ornament and dots as separators, bordered by a granular milled rim consistent with the obverse. The composition conveys both the city's allegiance to the Holy Roman Empire and its civic piety. |
