Interesting fact
The 1 Daalder coin was used as a form of emergency currency during the Siege of Haarlem, when the city was under attack by Spanish forces. The coin was made of silver and had a unique rhomboid shape, with three stamps on it. Despite its unusual design, the coin was widely accepted as a means of payment during this time of crisis, and it remains a valuable collector's item to this day.
