Interesting fact
The ½ Rose Nobel coin from the City of Kampen (Dutch States) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known to exist. It is made of gold and weighs 3.71 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Dutch States, and its design reflects this turmoil. The coin features a unique blend of traditional and modern elements, with an old-fashioned shield on one side and a modern-style portrait on the other. This combination of old and new makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
