Comment
This subtype differs from the main type (see link) by the lion holding neither the sword nor the arrows.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Dutch Republic. The 17th century was a period of rapid economic growth and trade expansion for the Dutch, and coins like this one played an important role in facilitating commerce and trade. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring a simple and elegant portrait of a lion, reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
