| Obverse description | Central field displays the Basel civic shield — a pointed heraldic escutcheon bearing a crook or crozier symbol — set within a beaded or plain inner circle. Four pellets or bosses are positioned at the cardinal points around the shield within the circle, corresponding to the characteristic pinched corners of the flan. The design is rendered in low relief typical of hammered medieval bracteate-style small coinage, with no legend or inscription present. The overall composition is spare and emblematic, focusing entirely on the armorial device as the sole identifying motif. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Basel heraldic shield — a pointed escutcheon charged with the Basel crozier or crook device — centrally positioned within a raised circular border. Four pellets appear at regular intervals around the shield, aligning with the pinched corners of the irregular flan. The relief is shallow and the strike somewhat weak, consistent with the hammered production methods of late 14th-century Swiss municipal coinage. No legend, inscription, or additional ornamental detail is present on this side. |
