Interesting fact
The "Zilveren rijder" Ducaton coin from the City of Deventer (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Netherlands. The coin was issued between 1662 and 1666, a period known as the "Second Anglo-Dutch War," during which the Dutch Republic was at war with England. Despite the conflict, the Dutch economy continued to thrive, and coins like the "Zilveren rijder" were used to facilitate trade and commerce. The coin's design, featuring a silver rider on horseback, was meant to symbolize the city's wealth and prosperity.
