Interesting fact

The "Leeuwendaalder" coin from the Province of Gelderland (Dutch Republic) features a unique design element - a knight facing left, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of knights facing right on coins. This design choice was made to distinguish the coin from other currencies in circulation at the time.
