Comment
Drawing by NumismaticaHollandia. Most examples are heavily worn or have been (incredibly) weakly struck and therefore don't show the complete design.
Above the S is a little blob, which is an error by the die engraver. Examples from 1680 also have it, they were overdates perhaps?
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Stuivers coin from the Province of Overijssel (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 century, and the production of coins like the 2 Stuivers was an important part of its economy. The coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its value and authenticity, and it was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region. Despite its small denomination, the 2 Stuivers coin played a significant role in the everyday lives of people living in the Dutch Republic during this time.
