Interesting fact
The ½ Batzen 1724 from City of Basel is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the rise of trade and commerce, and the shifting of power from feudal lords to centralized governments. Despite being a small denomination coin, it is a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic craftsmanship of the time.
