Interesting fact

The ½ Cent Willem I coin from the Netherlands, made of copper and weighing 1.922g, features an interesting design element - the king's crown is depicted as a closed crown, signifying his role as a constitutional monarch, rather than an absolute ruler. This design choice reflects the political climate of the time, as the Netherlands was a constitutional monarchy with a limited monarchical power.
