| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely engraved panoramic view of the city of Basel dominates the upper two-thirds of the field, depicting the Cathedral (Münster) with its distinctive twin spires prominently at upper left, alongside a dense urban skyline of rooftops, church steeples, and city walls descending to the Rhine with its bridge visible at centre-right. The cityscape is rendered in a detailed pictorial style characteristic of late 18th-century Swiss thaler coinage. The lower portion of the reverse is separated by a horizontal line forming an exergue, within which the two-line Latin inscription BASILEA / 1793 appears, flanked on either side by crossed laurel sprigs. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Basel struck thalers intermittently throughout the 18th century as a civic assertion of its rights under the Holy Roman Empire, and by 1793 that empire was visibly disintegrating under the pressure of revolutionary France across the Rhine. The city would lose its mint rights entirely within a decade — French annexation in 1798 ended the independent coinage of Basel after centuries of production.
The HMZ 2#99i designation places this among a documented sequence of die marriages for the type; collectors working the series use the HMZ subdivisions rather than KM to navigate the distinctions.
