Interesting fact

The "Leeuwendaalder" coin from the City of Deventer (Dutch Republic) in 1640 has an interesting fact: it was made with a unique minting technique called "cross-hatching," which created a textured, crisscross pattern on the coin's surface. This technique was used to prevent counterfeiting and to give the coin a distinctive look.
