背面描述	A crowned imperial orb surmounted by a cross pattée is centrally positioned within an elaborate six-lobed rosette design formed by interlacing strapwork, the lobes adorned with foliate and pellet ornaments. The overall composition reflects the decorative vocabulary of late Renaissance die engraving, with fine detailing in the interlace and a beaded outer border encircling the entire design.

附加信息	Basel struck its own gold coinage under imperial privilege, and by 1640 the city was navigating the final chaotic years of the Thirty Years' War — a conflict that had devastated much of the surrounding region while leaving the city itself largely intact and commercially active. The half goldgulden denomination served the city's merchant class at a moment when cross-border trade required portable, recognizable gold. KM#95 is a scarce type; Basel's gold output was never large, and half-denomination strikes were produced in far smaller quantities than full gulden.
