The four quarters display the bishop's heraldic charges, including a crowned lion and a rooster among other devices. The surrounding legend in Latin reads the abbreviated name and title of the issuing bishop, Jakob Christoph Blarer von Wartensee, Bishop of Basel. The inscription is separated by pellets and decorative stops, and a floral ornament appears within the legend. |
