KREUZER

Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Canton of Basel, issued in 1844, features a unique counterstamp, which was applied by the canton as a way to validate the coin's authenticity and value. This counterstamp is a small letter "B" that can be found on the reverse side of the coin, below the main design. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting for collectors and numismatists, as it represents a distinctive aspect of the coin's history and provenance.
