Comment
Known as dubbele stuiverInteresting fact
The 2 Stuivers (Klippe) coin from the Province of Overijssel (Dutch Republic) in 1619 is interesting because it was made during a time when the Dutch Republic was experiencing significant economic growth and trade expansion. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination suggest that it was widely used in everyday transactions, reflecting the growing prosperity and commercial activity of the time. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring a simple yet elegant image of a knight on horseback, reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the Dutch Golden Age.
