Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler ND (1670-1690) from City of Basel is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Basel on the reverse side, which was not present on other coins of the same denomination from other cities. This distinctive feature makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history and art of coinage.
