Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Stuivers "½ Roosschelling" coin from the Province of Holland (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Dutch Republic was a powerful trading nation during the 17th century, and the introduction of this coin was part of a broader effort to standardize currency and facilitate trade. The coin's design, which features a stylized image of a lion and the value "3 Stuivers" on one side, and a crowned shield with the letters "AR" (for "Arnoldus Roosschelling," the mint master) on the other, reflects the influence of Dutch culture and trade during this period.
