Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Stuivers - Louis Napoleon (Pattern; Tin) 1807 from Netherlands made of Tin weighing 23.57g is that it was designed to be a prototype for a new currency system that was never implemented. The coin features a portrait of Louis Napoleon, who was the King of Holland at the time, and was intended to be used as a pattern for a new series of coins. However, the design was ultimately rejected and the coin was never produced for circulation. As a result, the Pattern 50 Stuivers - Louis Napoleon (Pattern; Tin) 1807 is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
