Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Rappen coin from the City of Basel is that it was used as a form of currency during the Renaissance period in Europe, specifically in the 15th century. It was a small silver coin that was widely used for everyday transactions, and its design featured the image of a rabbit, which was a symbol of fertility and prosperity during that time. Despite its small size and value, the Rappen coin played an important role in the economy of Basel and surrounding regions, and it remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
