Interesting fact
The 28 Stivers coin was used as a means of payment for the Dutch East India Company, which was a powerful trading company that played a significant role in the Dutch Republic's economy during the 17th and 18th centuries. The coin's design featured the image of a lion, which symbolized the company's power and influence.
