Comment
This type is distinguished by the location of the date above the crown. The KM and CNM catalogs recognize it as a different type, though Delmonte does not.Interesting fact
The 28 Stuivers coin from the City of Deventer (Dutch Republic) made of Silver weighing 19.4g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during the time of the Dutch East India Company, which was one of the first multinational corporations in the world and played a significant role in the Dutch Golden Age of trade and commerce.
