Interesting fact
The "Arendrijksdaalder" coin from the Imperial Cities of Deventer, Kampen, and Zwolle (Dutch States) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was minted during the reign of Maximilian II (1567-1578), a period marked by the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule, and the subsequent formation of the Dutch Republic. The coin's design features an eagle on one side and a shield with the cities' coats of arms on the other, symbolizing the unity and strength of the three cities. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the region's rich cultural heritage.
