Interesting fact
The ½ Cent Willem III coin from the Netherlands, made of copper and weighing 1.922g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in the country. Willem III, who ruled from 1850-1877, was the last king of the Netherlands before the country became a republic. This coin was minted during his reign and features his image on one side and the Dutch coat of arms on the other. Despite being a small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history and a reminder of the Netherlands' transition from a monarchy to a republic.
