Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzer coin from the City of Basel, made of silver and weighing 4g, is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The 16th century saw the rise of trade and commerce, as well as the Protestant Reformation, which had a significant impact on the region. The coin's design, featuring the image of a bishop on one side and the Basel coat of arms on the other, reflects the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
