1793H Switzerland Thaler Basel City View KM-184 Rare Extremely Fine Silver Coin

Description: Nicely toned silver coin dated 1793 from Switzerland. This is a one Taler or Thaler coin from the city state of Basel. The coin shows the city view with the Rhine river to the right with a bridge in the distance and buildings with many steeples along the river banks into the horizon with the word "BASILEA" and the date below the scene within plant branches. The reverse shows a beast half animal half bird (Basilisk) with spread wings facing right with arms of Basel at lower left. The reverse also has the legend "DOMINE CONSERVA IN PACE" surrounding the Basilisk along the edge. There is also the letter "H" on the bottom of the reverse.
