Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler ND (1720) from City of Basel 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 design to indicate the coin's origin and to distinguish it from other coins circulating in the region at the time.
