Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Stuiver ND (1712) coin from Sri Lanka is that it was issued during the Dutch colonial period, and it features an image of a lion on one side and a VOC (Dutch East India Company) monogram on the other. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Dutch during their rule over Sri Lanka, which lasted from 1658 to 1796. The use of the lion and VOC monogram on the coin reflects the influence of Dutch culture and trade during this period.
