SWITZERLAND. Basel. 1/4 Taler, 1740. NGC MS-64.
KM-142. Variety with dots in legend. Incredible quality for the type, this delightfully enchanting near-Gem radiates with a great argent appeal mixed with some deeper toning. A popular type featuring a veduta of Basel and a basilisk--a punning allusion to the city's name itself.
Estimate: $500 - $750
