Interesting fact
The "Silver Rider" Ducaton coin from West Friesland (Dutch Republic) has a unique feature - it has a small horsehead stamped on the reverse side, which is not found on other coins of the same denomination. This horsehead symbol was added to the coin to indicate that it was minted in the city of Hoorn, which was known for its horse breeding industry during that time.
