| Obverse description | The Basel basilisk, a winged dragon with a crested head and scaled body, stands at center facing left, clutching with its claws an ornate cartouche bearing the arms of the City of Basel — a diagonal black staff on a white field. The creature's tail curls beneath it, filling the lower field. The circular Latin legend reads: ⁕ DOMINE · CONSERVA · NOS · IN · PACE, arranged around the periphery within a milled border. |

| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic cityscape of Basel occupies the center field, depicting the Rhine river with a bridge in the foreground, church steeples, and the city's skyline rendered in fine engraved relief. Arching above the city view is a garland of eight heraldic shields representing the allied cantons and territories of Basel. The legend BASILEA is inscribed in the upper field between the shields and the cityscape, while the date 1741 appears in the lower exergue, flanked by decorative floral sprays, all within a milled border. |
