Interesting fact

The 9 Stuivers coin from Curaçao (Netherlands Antilles) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a brief period of autonomy for the island. Curaçao was a Dutch colony, but from 1795 to 1802, it was occupied by the British, who introduced their own currency. The 9 Stuivers coin was minted during this period and features the British monarch, King George III, on one side and the Curaçao coat of arms on the other. This coin is a unique example of a colonial power struggle and a blend of Dutch and British influences.
