Comment
This coin is the same as KM #71 with the over date (9 over 7).Interesting fact
The Thaler 1649 from the City of Zurich is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used currency at the time, and the City of Zurich's minting of this coin signifies the city's importance as a financial and trade hub. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the coin's intended use as a reliable medium of exchange.
