Interesting fact
The 30 Stuivers coin from the Province of Friesland (Dutch Republic) in 1682 has an interesting feature. It has a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin, known as a "nail hole." This hole was added to the coin to help people tell the difference between genuine coins and counterfeit ones. It was a common practice in the 17th century to add a small hole or a raised bump to coins to make them easier to authenticate. This feature makes the 30 Stuivers coin from Friesland stand out and serves as a testament to the innovative techniques used in coinage during that time.
