The ¼ Daalder coin from the Siege of Zierikzee in the Dutch Republic (1575) is interesting because it was used as a form of emergency currency during the siege, when the usual supply of coins was disrupted. The coin was made of silver and weighed 7.2 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin of its time. Despite its small size, it played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during a time of crisis.
