Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Gulden 1680 coin from the Province of Holland (Dutch Republic) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the province, which is not typically found on other coins from the same time period. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of a lion. This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out and highlights the rich history and cultural heritage of the Dutch Republic.
