This specimen was lot 2280 in Spink Auction 16005 (London, 27 June 2016) where it sold for 170 GBP (about US$224). The lot description noted: "Switzerland, Basel, Taler, 1640, city arms in cartouche, rev. eagle (DT 1337; Dav-4607; Divo 94), cleaned, about very fine." Basel struck numerous varieties of thalers (Dav-4606 thru -4611) in 1640, varying as follows:
- Dav-4606: large arabesques framing the city arms; the cherub with wings up, down or furled;
- Dav-4607: slimmer arabesques framing the city arms with a dot in front of "·MONETA";
- Dav-4608: no arabesques around the city arms;
- Dav-4609: slimmer arabesques with dots in the obverse legend instead of rosettes (shown here);
- Dav-4610: arabesques tied up with ribbons and small rosettes in the obverse legend;
- Dav-4611: city name spelled "BASILEESIS".
Since they are all worth about the same, most auction cataloguers don't bother to attribute them accurately Winterstein[1] lists W-78 thru W-103 for this issue, including some with arabesques on the eagle side, not mentioned in Davenport.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: silver, this specimen 28,62 g.
