Interesting fact
The 10 Stuivers coin from the Siege of Oudewater in 1575 is interesting because it was made of tin, which was a common material for coins at that time, but it's also notable that the coin was issued during a time of economic and political turmoil in the Dutch Republic. The siege of Oudewater was a pivotal event in the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain, and the coin may have been used to help finance the military efforts during this time.
