Interesting fact
The ½ Kromstaart coin from the City of Dokkum (Dutch States) made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Dutch States were still using a variety of different coinage systems, and this particular coin was used specifically for trade with the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that dominated trade in the region during the 14th to 16th centuries.
