Interesting fact
The 2 Gosseler 1534 coin from the Imperial Cities of Deventer, Kampen, and Zwolle (Dutch States) is interesting because it was made during a time when the Dutch States were still under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the Imperial Eagle on one side and the coat of arms of the three cities on the other. This coin was also made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Additionally, the fact that it weighs 2.6 grams suggests that it was a significant coin with a high monetary value.
