Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzer coin from the City of Basel, made of silver and weighing 12g, 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 influence of the Catholic Church and the city's civic pride. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship of medieval minting techniques.
