Interesting fact
The ½ Stuiver coin from the City of Leeuwarden (Dutch States) made of Silver weighing 0.90 g is interesting because it was issued during a time when the Dutch States were struggling for independence from Spain, and the coinage of the time reflected this political tension. The coin features a unique design, with a lion on one side and a shield on the other, which symbolized the struggle for freedom and the protection of the Dutch people. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in other coins of the time, signifying the value and importance of the coin.
