| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of the bishop facing right, wearing a tall mitre; the crozier with its curved volute appears prominently to the right of the effigy. The figure is rendered in a bold, somewhat schematic Romanesque style typical of early 14th-century Swiss episcopal coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with the characteristic four pinched lobes of the flan visible at the outer edge. No legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otto von Grandson held the bishopric of Basel for just three years before his death in 1309, a tenure too brief to produce a substantial coinage. He was primarily a Savoyard nobleman and diplomat — one of Edward I of England's most trusted envoys — rather than an ecclesiastical administrator, which makes his appearance on episcopal coinage something of an anomaly in his biography. The pfennig issued under his authority belongs to the thin-flan bracteate tradition of the Upper Rhine, where the Bishopric's minting rights were perpetually contested by the city of Basel itself.
