| Obverse description | Double-headed imperial eagle displayed at center, crowned above, with the episcopal arms of Basel superimposed on the breast. The date is divided by the eagle's body and appears in the lower field. The circular legend reading MON·NOVA I·C·EP·BAS surrounds the design, separated from the coin's rope-bordered rim. The overall style is characteristic of early 18th-century Swiss ecclesiastical coinage. |
