Comment
The M device reverse is similar to small value billion coins struck in the name of Maximilian during the regency of Philip the Handsome.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Stuiver "Oirtstuiver" (Arnhem) ND (1491) coin from the Duchy of Guelders is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "G" in the center, which represents the Duchy of Guelders. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of the city of Arnhem, which is featured on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This design element is not commonly found on other coins from the same time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
