Interesting fact

The 1 Stuiver (gold) coin from West Friesland (Dutch Republic) weighs 1.75g, which is unusually light for a gold coin. Most gold coins from this era were made with a higher gold content and weighed more. This suggests that the coin may have been intended for small transactions or everyday use, rather than being a high-value coin.
