Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Stivers "Rosart" coin is that it features a unique design element - a small rose on the reverse side, which gives the coin its name "Rosart." This rose was added to the coin's design by the mint master, Érard de la Marck, as a personal touch and a symbol of the Prince-bishopric of Liege, where the coin was minted.
