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 1694 date marks the beginning of the "Second Stadtholderless Period," a time of political instability and economic uncertainty that lasted for nearly a century. Despite these challenges, the Dutch Republic continued to thrive as a major economic power, and coins like this one were an important symbol of the country's wealth and influence.
