Interesting fact
The 6 Stuivers "Rijderschelling" coin from the City of Kampen (Dutch States) made of Silver (.583) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the Dutch colonies in North America, specifically in what is now New York City. The coin was minted in the late 17th century and features an image of a knight on horseback, which represents the Dutch East India Company. The coin's design and the fact that it was used in the Dutch colonies highlights the economic and cultural ties between the Netherlands and North America during this time period.
