Comment
Winterstein 189Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler ND (1710) from City of Basel made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.B." (for "St. Basel") located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was issued by the City of Basel, which was a significant trading center and financial hub in Europe during the 18th century. The inclusion of this shield helped to establish the coin's authenticity and value, and it remains a distinctive feature that collectors and numismatists look for when identifying and evaluating these coins today.
