| Reverse description | A detailed and finely engraved bird's-eye panoramic view of the city of Basel fills the entire field, depicting the Rhine River dividing the city, with the cathedral, bridges, towers, and rooftops rendered in impressive topographic detail. A flowing ribbon cartouche inscribed BASILEA appears in the upper portion of the field above the cityscape, identifying the city by its Latin name. The scene is executed in the baroque cartographic tradition, showcasing exceptional artistry characteristic of late 17th-century Swiss coinage. A beaded border frames the reverse design. |
