| Obverse description | Crude Romanesque design featuring the monogram or cipher composed of the letters B, A, and R arranged around a central pellet circle, evoking the name BASILEA (Basel). A small cross appears at the top of the field above the monogram. The overall composition is enclosed within a plain linear border, consistent with early medieval episcopal coinage. The lettering is angular and archaic in style, reflecting the primitive die-cutting techniques of the early twelfth century. The legend reads + BASILEA R, referencing the city and its bishop. |
