Comment
Albert Michaud, "Les monnaies des princes-évêques de Bâle", 1905 #91.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Stebler ND coin from the Bishopric of Basel is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued in the late 15th century, a period marked by the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent conflict between Protestant and Catholic states. Despite this turmoil, the Bishopric of Basel was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including the Stebler ND. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Basel during a time of great change and uncertainty.
