Interesting fact

The 1 Stiver ND (1599) coin from the City of Zwolle (Dutch States) features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "G" and "S" on either side, which stands for "Gelders-Stiver" or "Gelders Shilling." This indicates that the coin was issued by the Gelderland region, which was a province in the Dutch Republic at the time. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins issued by the Dutch States during the same period.
