Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Thaler 1640 from City of Basel made of Silver weighing 29.03g is that it was used as a means of payment in the City of Basel during the 17th century. It was a widely accepted coin in the region and was used for everyday transactions, such as buying goods and services. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not particularly valuable, and its value was largely based on its weight and the trust in the issuing authority, the City of Basel.
