Comment
This was the first Scheepjesschelling ever made. Like the later ones made for use in the colonies, as Holland would not accept any Schelling as legal tender (and had it outlawed in the rest of the republic in 1693).Interesting fact
The 6 Stivers "Scheepjesschelling" coin from West Friesland (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small sailing ship, known as a "scheepje," on the reverse side. This design was used to represent the region's strong maritime tradition and its connection to the sea.
