Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Stuivers coin from the Siege of Amsterdam (Dutch Republic) in 1578 is that it was made of silver and weighed 6.56 grams. This is notable because silver coins were not commonly used in circulation during this time period, and the fact that this coin was made of silver suggests that it may have been a special issue or commemorative coin. Additionally, the fact that it was used during the Siege of Amsterdam, a significant historical event, adds to its historical value and interest.
