| Beschrijving keerzijde | Detailed bird's-eye panoramic view of the city of Basel straddling the Rhine River, rendered in fine relief with towers, spires, fortifications, and bridges depicted with considerable topographic accuracy. Vessels are visible on the river, and the city's distinctive cathedral and civic buildings are prominently featured. The legend BASILEA appears in a cartouche at the top of the field, identifying the city. The finely engraved cityscape occupies virtually the entire coin surface, reflecting the high artistic standards of Basel's civic coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Basel's double thaler issues of this period were minted under the authority of a city-republic that had jealously guarded its monetary independence since joining the Swiss Confederation in 1501. The specific HMZ 2-77b type spans two decades precisely because output was sporadic — these were presentation-grade pieces struck for diplomatic gifts and civic ceremony rather than commerce, which explains both their survival rates in higher condition and the absence of meaningful circulation wear on most known examples.
The Dav EC III and Dav Lg cross-references reflect how thoroughly this type was catalogued by later scholars trying to untangle Basel's overlapping thaler emissions, several of which share dies across nominal date ranges.
