Interesting fact
The Goldgulden 1513 from the City of Basel is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few specimens known to exist. 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 the Swiss Confederation and the Protestant Reformation. Despite being made of gold, the coin was used as a circulating currency, indicating the wealth and prosperity of the City of Basel during this period.
