Comment
Albert Michaud, "Les monnaies des princes-évêques de Bâle", 1905 #119.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Wilhelm Rinck von Baldenstein 1625 from Bishopric of Basel is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Basel, which was a rare inclusion on coins of this denomination during that time period.
