| Obverse description | Central field displays the arms of Basel — the distinctive black crozier head — set within a wide, ornately decorated oval cartouche adorned with scrollwork and foliate elements. The cartouche is surrounded by a plain inner field, with the circular legend reading + MON · NOVA · AVREA · BASILEENSIS · in Latin capitals distributed around the periphery. The coin's outer edge features a continuous beaded or milled border. The overall engraving style is characteristic of mid-17th century Swiss municipal coinage. |
