Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Helmeted Daalder" coin is that it features a unique design element - a helmet on the reverse side, which gives the coin its name. This helmet is believed to represent the helmet of the Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva, and was added to the coin's design to symbolize the importance of wisdom and knowledge.
