Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1793 from City of Basel is that 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 high-quality coins like the 1 Thaler, which were widely used for trade and commerce.
