Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Gulden coin from the City of Zutphen (Dutch States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "Z" in the center, which represents the city of Zutphen. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "CIVITAS ZVTPHENSIS" (City of Zutphen). This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins issued by the Dutch States during the same period and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
