| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central six-spoked wheel occupying the field, rendered in relief with broad, flat spokes radiating from a central hub. The wheel is surrounded by a circle of small pellets or dots forming a beaded border, typical of Rhenish episcopal coinage of the Romanesque period. The flan shows characteristic irregular edges from hammered production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold Greek cross with ball-ends at each arm terminus, dividing the field into four quarters. Each angle of the cross contains a small six-pointed star or asterisk, serving as decorative fillers. The design is deeply struck in high relief, consistent with the hammered bracteate-influenced coinage of the Bishopric of Basel during the late 12th century. The flan edges display four characteristic pinches. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bishopric of Basel exercised the minting privilege — the Münzrecht — as a grant of imperial authority, and these anonymous deniers were struck during the episcopate when Basel sat at a contested crossroads between the Hohenstaufen imperial sphere and the growing autonomy of the Rhenish ecclesiastical territories. Attribution to specific bishops within this twenty-year window remains unresolved; the anonymity is deliberate, reflecting a period when episcopal mints issued on institutional rather than personal authority.
