Comment
Siege coinage for use during the siege by the Prince-Bishop of Münster, 1672.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Daalder coin from the City of Deventer (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during the Siege of 1672, which was a pivotal event in the Dutch Republic's history. The siege was part of the Third Anglo-Dutch War, and it resulted in the Dutch Republic's victory over the English and French forces that were trying to capture the city. The coin's design, which features a klippe (a type of ship) on one side and the city's coat of arms on the other, serves as a testament to the city's resilience and determination during this time of conflict.
