Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Kopje" coin is that it was minted during the reign of Floris V, who was the Count of Holland and Zeeland from 1284 to 1286. The coin's design features a stylized image of a lion, which was a symbol of the County of Holland. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it reflected the wealth and prosperity of the region at the time.
