Comment
Mark at top obverse and reverse may vary (see date table).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Stuiver coin from Nijmegen (1484-1489) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy of Guelders, which was a region in the Burgundian Netherlands. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate its origin and authenticity, and it has become a distinctive feature of coins from this region and time period.
