Interesting fact
The 1 Stuiver coin from Curaçao (Netherlands Antilles) made of Nickel brass and weighing 1.15g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in the region. In the late 19th century, Curaçao was facing a severe economic crisis due to the decline of the island's slave trade and the devastation caused by a series of hurricanes. As a result, the government was forced to introduce a new currency, the Stuiver, to address the economic challenges. The coin's design, featuring Jacob Jeosuah Naar, a prominent local businessman and philanthropist, was a symbol of hope and resilience for the community during a difficult period in the island's history.
