Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penning "Kopje" coin from the Duchy of Guelders is that it features a unique design element - a small knight's head on the reverse side, which is believed to represent the coat of arms of the Duchy. This design element was not commonly found on coins of that time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
