Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler ND (1670) from City of Basel is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) having a significant impact on the region. Despite this, the City of Basel was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the coin is a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
