Interesting fact

The Gold Rider 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 feature was not only practical but also symbolic, as it represented the connection between the coin and its owner, signifying the value and importance of the coin.
