Interesting fact
The 1 Stuiver coin from the City of Kampen (Dutch States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Netherlands. The Dutch States, also known as the Dutch Republic, was a confederation of seven provinces that had recently gained independence from Spain. The minting of this coin was likely a way for the city of Kampen to assert its independence and showcase its economic growth. It's also worth noting that the coin's design features a unique blend of traditional Dutch symbols, such as the lion and the shield, with the city's coat of arms. This blend of local and national symbols reflects the city's pride in its heritage and its connection to the larger Dutch Republic.
