Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Stuivers coin from the Province of Gelderland (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Dutch Republic was a powerful trading nation during the 17th and 18th centuries, and the Province of Gelderland was one of its most important provinces. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight suggest that it was intended for everyday use by ordinary people, and its design may have reflected the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
