Interesting fact
The 2 Stuivers coin from the City of Deventer (Dutch Republic) made of Copper is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was issued during the Siege of 1578, a time of great turmoil and conflict in the region, and its production was likely limited due to the scarcity of resources and the chaotic conditions of the time. As a result, the coin is highly sought after by collectors and historians interested in the history of the Dutch Republic and the evolution of coinage during this period.
