| Obverse description | A plain cross with equal arms divides the field into four quadrants, each containing a small annulet; the whole design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The flan exhibits four characteristic pinched indentations at the cardinal points, typical of Basel episcopal bracteate-related issues of the early 13th century. No legend or inscription is present. |
