Interesting fact
The 1 Oord coin from Leiden (Dutch States) made of Copper in 1573 is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in the Netherlands. The Dutch States were in the process of gaining independence from Spain, and the issuance of this coin was a symbol of their growing economic and political power. Additionally, the coin features a unique design, with a lion on one side and a shield on the other, which was meant to represent the strength and unity of the Dutch States.
