Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 30 Stuivers (Piedfort; double weight) 1683 from Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) made of Silver (.906) weighing 29.9 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Dutch Republic. The 1680s saw the rise of the Dutch East India Company, which had a significant impact on the economy and trade of the region. Additionally, this coin was minted during the reign of King William III of England, who was also the Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic, further highlighting the close ties between the two nations.
