Interesting fact
The 1 Duit coin from the City of Arnhem (Dutch Republic) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Dutch Republic was a confederation of seven provinces that had recently gained independence from Spain, and the city of Arnhem was an important center of trade and commerce. The coin's design features the image of a lion, which was a symbol of strength and courage, and was likely meant to represent the city's resilience and determination during this period of transition.
