Interesting fact
The 1 Stuiver coin from the City of Bolsward (Dutch States) made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Dutch States were still using a variety of different currencies, and it was not until the 16th century that the Dutch Republic was established and a standardized currency was introduced.
