Interesting fact
The 20 Stuivers coin from the Siege of Oudewater in 1575 is interesting because it was made of lead, which was a common material for coins at that time, but it's unusual for a coin of this denomination to be made of a base metal like lead, rather than a precious metal like silver or gold.
