The obverse shows the site of the legend, the baker’s house in the lane called “Schönlanterngasse” (Lovely Lantern Lane), with the impressive Holy Cross Court at the end of the street. The house is a protected building with the story of the legend painted on its facade. The reverse shows the terrifying basilisk just as the young apprentice holds the mirror before it. At the top of the wall the frightend baker and the counselor watch the outcome of the confrontation below.
