Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 40 Stivers coin from the City of Breda (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during the Siege of 1625, which was a significant event in the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain. The coin's design, which features a crowned shield with the city's arms and the year 1625, serves as a symbol of the city's resilience and determination during this time of conflict.
