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 1680s saw a significant increase in trade and commerce, as well as the formation of the Dutch East India Company, which helped to establish the Netherlands as a major world power. Additionally, this coin was minted during the reign of King William III, who ruled the Dutch Republic from 1672 until his death in 1702. William III is remembered for his military campaigns against France and his efforts to strengthen the Dutch economy.
