Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Stuivers "Leeuwenschelling / Bankschelling" coin from West Friesland (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Dutch Republic was a powerful trading nation during the 17th century, and the introduction of this coin was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency that could be used for trade and commerce. The coin's design, featuring a lion on one side and a shield on the other, was likely meant to symbolize the strength and prosperity of the Dutch Republic.
