Interesting fact

The 7 Gulden "½ Gold Rider" coin from the Province of Holland (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Dutch Republic was experiencing significant economic growth and trade, particularly in the Dutch East India Company. The coin's design, featuring a horseback rider on one side and a shield with the Dutch Republic's coat of arms on the other, symbolizes the country's prosperity and power during that period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold (.920) and weighs 4.965 grams makes it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists today.
