Interesting fact
The Gold Rider coin from the Province of Overijssel (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was introduced in 1607, just a few years after the Dutch Republic was formed, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the province. The fact that it was made of gold (.920) and weighed 10 grams suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin during its time. Additionally, the design of the coin features a knight on horseback, which was a common motif in Dutch coinage during this period, and it adds to the coin's historical and cultural significance.
