Interesting fact
The "Leeuwendaalder" coin from the Province of Friesland (Dutch Republic) has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was used to thread a cord or chain through, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This practice was common in the 17th century, and it symbolized the wearer's wealth and status.
