| Obverse description | Central field features the Basel basilisk, depicted as a crowned winged serpent rampant, with the arms of Basel displayed at lower left; the creature is enclosed within an inner circle surrounded by a ring of quartered cantonal and civic shields arranged decoratively around the periphery. The overall composition reflects the heraldic civic pride typical of early 18th-century Swiss municipal coinage. |
