Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Thaler 1669 from City of Basel made of Silver weighing 27.93g is that it was minted during a time when the City of Basel was part of the Swiss Confederation, and the Thaler was a widely used currency throughout the region. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Basel on one side and the image of a crowned eagle on the other, symbolizing the city's power and influence. Despite being over 350 years old, some of these coins are still in circulation among collectors and historians, making them a valuable piece of history.
