Interesting fact
The Arendrijksdaalder (Klippe) - Maximilian II 1578 from Imperial Cities of Deventer, Kampen, Zwolle (Dutch States) is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Netherlands. The Dutch States were fighting for independence from Spain, and the minting of this coin was a symbol of their resistance and determination to establish their own currency. Despite the challenges they faced, the coin was beautifully crafted and features a detailed image of Maximilian II on one side and the coat of arms of the three cities on the other. It's a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Dutch people during a time of great upheaval.
