† basel Obs.
The alleged name according to Holinshed (and copyists down to the present day) of certain pieces of money abrogated by Henry II., of which numismatists have no knowledge. (Prob. Holinshed's error for baseling, in sense of ‘base piece’: cf. silverling, etc.)
1577Holinshed Chron. III. 67/1 The same yeare [1158] also the King altered his coine, abrogating certeine peeces called basels. [Marg. note in Rolls ed. Matt. Paris I. 309 from one MS. ‘Moneta tunc reprobata Baseling dicebatur.’] |
