BATZEN
1762
Interesting fact
The Batzen 1762 from the City of Basel is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the rise of trade and commerce, and the shift from feudalism to capitalism. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, billon, the coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
