Interesting fact
The "Golden Rider" coin from the Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued in the mid-18th century, a period of rapid economic growth and cultural development in the Dutch Republic. The coin's design, featuring a horseback rider on one side and a shield with the Zeeland coat of arms on the other, reflects the region's rich history and cultural heritage. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold (.917) and weighs 9.93 grams makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
