Interesting fact
The "Leeuwendaalder" coin features an image of a lion on one side, which is where it gets its name from. "Leeuw" means lion in Dutch, and "daalder" refers to the coin's denomination. This coin was used in the Dutch States during the 16th century, and its design has been a symbol of Dutch coinage for centuries.
