Interesting fact
The 1603 Arendrijksdaalder from the City of Deventer (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small bird, known as a "ducat bird," perched on the shield of the coat of arms. This tiny detail was added to the coin's design to signify the importance of trade and commerce in the region, as the bird was seen as a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
