Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ 3 Gulden 1696 coin from the Province of Friesland (Dutch Republic) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Friesland arms, which is located above the mantling on the reverse side of the coin. This shield is a symbol of the province's independence and sovereignty, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued by the Dutch Republic during the same period.
