Interesting fact
The 1 Stuiver (Type II) ND (1621) from City of Kampen (Dutch States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the Dutch Republic. The coin was minted in 1621, just a few years after the Dutch East India Company was established, which had a significant impact on the Dutch economy and trade. Additionally, the coin was issued during the Eighty Years' War between the Dutch Republic and Spain, which lasted from 1568 to 1648. This coin is a tangible representation of the economic and political changes that were taking place in the Dutch Republic during this time period.
