Interesting fact

The 2 Stuivers coin from the City of Nijmegen (Dutch States) made of Silver (.583) weighing 1.62 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the Netherlands. The coin was minted during the reign of King William III of England and Ireland, who was also the Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade for the Netherlands, and the coin reflects the importance of trade and commerce in the region during that time. Additionally, the coin's design features the coat of arms of the City of Nijmegen, which is a unique and distinctive feature that sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
