Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the Dutch Republic. The 17th and 18th centuries saw significant political, economic, and social upheaval in the Netherlands, including the Dutch Revolt, the formation of the Dutch Republic, and the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War. Despite these challenges, the Province of Gelderland continued to mint coins, such as the 3 Gulden (Republic Arms) coin, which remained a stable and trusted form of currency for the people of the region.
