Comment
Off-metal strike in gold.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Stuivers (gold) coin from West Friesland (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during a time of great economic prosperity in the region. The coin's gold content and its relatively high denomination suggest that it was used for large transactions and was a symbol of wealth and status. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of a lion and a crown, reflects the region's cultural and political ties to the Dutch Republic.
