Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Assis (Klippe) coin from the City of Basel, made of Silver and weighing 12.40g, is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The 17th century saw the rise of trade and commerce, as well as the Thirty Years' War, which had a significant impact on the region. Despite these challenges, the City of Basel continued to mint coins, such as the 2 Assis (Klippe), which were used for everyday transactions and demonstrate the city's resilience and economic strength during this period.
