The 2 Stuivers coin from West Friesland (Dutch Republic) made of Silver in 1673 is notable for its unique design. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of a bearded man wearing a hat, believed to be a representation of the Dutch Republic's founder, William of Orange. The reverse side features the coat of arms of West Friesland, which includes three lions and a shield with the motto "Je Maintiendrai" (I will maintain). This design was used for coins minted in West Friesland during this period, and it symbolizes the region's independence and sovereignty.
