| Obverse description | The Basel basilisk, depicted as a crowned dragon-like creature with spread wings and a coiled serpentine tail, stands in the field holding the city's heraldic shield — displaying the distinctive Basel crozier — in its foreclaws. The creature is rendered in bold high relief, facing left, with fine detailing on the scaled body and feathered wings. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design within a toothed border. |
