Interesting fact
The Duit ND (1611-1613) coin from the City of Huissen (Dutch Republic) was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes this coin interesting is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a Dutch ruler, in this case, Prince Maurice of Orange. This was a departure from the traditional design of coins that featured mythological figures or symbols, and marked a shift towards more realistic and representational art on coins.
