Interesting fact
The 6 Stuivers "Roosschelling" coin from the City of Deventer (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small rose on the reverse side, which is where the coin gets its name "Roosschelling" or "Little Rose" in English. This rose was added to the coin's design to signify the city's connection to the House of Orange-Nassau, which used a rose as their family crest. This coin was minted in 1601 and was made of silver with a weight of 5.27 grams.
