| Reverse description | A highly stylized schematic representation of a church or cathedral facade occupies the central field, depicted in the primitive Romanesque manner typical of 11th-century episcopal bracteate-related coinage. The architectural motif features rounded towers or turrets suggested by pellet and arc elements, rendered in coarse but deliberate relief. The design conveys the ecclesiastical authority of the Bishop of Basel without figurative detail, relying on symbolic architectural shorthand. The flan edges are irregular and show typical hammered planchet characteristics. No legend is present on the reverse. |
