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 a time when Switzerland was still a collection of independent states, rather than a unified country. The coin was issued by the city of Basel and was used in trade and commerce within the region. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Rappen coin played an important role in the economy of the time and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
