Comment
Off-metal strike in gold.Interesting fact
The 2 Stivers gold coin from the Province of Utrecht (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Europe. The coin was minted between 1733 and 1794, a period that saw the rise and fall of empires, the Enlightenment, and the French Revolution. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained a stable store of value and a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
