Interesting fact

The Daalder of 36 Stuivers 1574 from Siege of Middelburg (Dutch Republic) is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of emergency currency during the siege of Middelburg by the Spanish forces in 1574. The coin was made of silver and weighed 29.4 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The fact that it was used during a time of crisis and has survived to this day makes it a valuable piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
