Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Stuiver ND (1660) coin from Sri Lanka is that it features a unique blend of Dutch and Sinhalese designs. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a Dutch East India Company ship, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a Sri Lankan temple, reflecting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Dutch colonial period in Sri Lanka.
