Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Stuiver ND (1712) coin from Sri Lanka is that it features a unique blend of Dutch and Sinhalese design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a Dutch East India Company ship, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Sri Lankan temple, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage. This blending of design elements is a testament to the multicultural history of Sri Lanka during the colonial period.
