Goldgulden

正面描述	Central field features the crowned Basel city arms — a black crozier on a white ground — superimposed on a cross pattée that extends to the coin's inner beaded border. The date 15[13] is divided across the upper arms of the cross. A Latin legend encircles the design within a beaded border, reading MONET NO AVR CIVI BASIL (Money of new gold of the city of Basel). The overall composition follows the late-Gothic Rhenish goldgulden tradition, with bold, deeply struck heraldic elements characteristic of early sixteenth-century Swiss municipal coinage.

附加信息	Basel struck its own gold gulden by authority of an imperial privilege granted in the fourteenth century, but by 1513 the city was already deep in the political turbulence that would reshape the Swiss Confederation — the Italian Wars were draining allied cantons of men and money, and Basel's commercial position as a Rhine crossing made its coinage a practical necessity for mercenary pay and long-distance trade. The HMZ 2#58b attribution places this among the later municipal issues before the Reformation disrupted Basel's mint activity in the 1520s.
