Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden ND (1790) from City of Basel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The late 18th century saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the Swiss Confederation and the city of Basel. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency in the region, as well as the increasing influence of the French Revolution on the Swiss economy.
