Interesting fact
The 2 Stuivers coin from the City of Zwolle (Dutch States) made of Silver (.583) weighing 1.73 g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency in the Dutch East India Company's trading posts in the Far East, specifically in the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia). This coin was also used as a model for the Japanese Yen, which was introduced in 1871.
