| 正面描述 | Crudely struck irregular flan displaying a stylized episcopal or architectural motif in the central field, rendered in a primitive Romanesque manner characteristic of 11th–12th century ecclesiastical coinage. The device, likely a simplified representation of a bishop's crozier or mitre, is executed with rough, angular strokes typical of hammered medieval deniers. The field surrounding the central design is largely plain, with no visible legend or border inscription. The overall strike is weak and off-center, consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. |

The bishops of Basel held imperial minting rights granted by the Salian emperors, and coinage from this diocese circulated across the upper Rhine corridor throughout the twelfth century. Production was almost certainly contracted to local moneyers rather than operated as a episcopal monopoly, which accounts for the considerable variation in die quality and flan preparation seen across surviving examples of this type.
