| Obverse description | Facing mitred bust of a bishop rendered in a simplified, archaic style typical of medieval bracteate-derived small coinage. The bishop's mitre is prominently depicted above a frontal face with schematic features. The letters B and R appear in the left and right fields respectively, likely abbreviating Basilea (Basel) and possibly a mintmaster or episcopal reference. The design is contained within a roughly circular flan exhibiting four characteristic pinched indentations at the periphery. |
