Interesting fact
The 1 Stuiver 1605 coin from the City of Zutphen (Dutch States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the Netherlands. The Dutch States were in the process of forming their own government and minting their own coins, which made them less dependent on foreign powers. The 1 Stuiver coin was a significant denomination at the time and was widely used in trade and commerce. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver gives us insight into the value and importance of precious metals during this period in history.
