Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern Vierer (Mule) ND (1500-1599) from City of Basel made of Silver weighing 3.32 g is that it is a rare and unique coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is considered a "mule" coin, meaning it has the obverse (front) of one coin and the reverse (back) of another coin, which makes it highly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and has a relatively low weight of 3.32 grams makes it an interesting and valuable piece for collectors and historians.
