Interesting fact
The 1 Duplone 1795 coin from the City of Basel is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The French Revolution had just begun, and the Swiss Confederation, of which Basel was a part, was facing pressure from both France and Austria. Despite these challenges, the Basel mint continued to produce coins, including the 1 Duplone, which was used as a medium of exchange in the region. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the history of Basel and the surrounding region during a time of significant upheaval.
