Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Thaler 1694 from City of Basel made of Silver weighing 28.16g is that it was minted during a time when the City of Basel was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Thaler coin was a widely used denomination across the empire. The coin's design likely features the coat of arms of Basel on one side and the image of a ruler or a prominent figure on the other. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting process was a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely accepted as a medium of exchange.
