Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Thaler 1640 from City of Basel made of Silver weighing 28.46g is that it was used as a means of payment in the City of Basel and its surrounding regions during the 17th century. It was a widely accepted coin and was used for various transactions, including trade and commerce. Its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency, and it was often used to purchase goods and services. Despite being over 370 years old, some of these coins are still in circulation today, albeit in limited numbers, and are highly sought after by collectors and numismatists.
