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 1681 coin was issued during the reign of William III, who was not only the Prince of Orange but also the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. This coin was minted as a response to the need for a standardized currency across the Dutch Republic, which was facing economic challenges due to the ongoing wars with France and the English Civil War. The coin's design, featuring the image of a lion and a shield with the Dutch Republic's coat of arms, symbolized the country's strength and unity during this tumultuous period.
