VH. 19/21; Grolle 11.1.1; vdCh. 2.2-4Interesting 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 1260 to 1266. The coin was made of silver and was a standard circulation coin during that time. It's interesting to note that the coin's design and minting process were quite advanced for its time, featuring a detailed image of Floris V on one side and a simple design on the other. Additionally, the coin's silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency, which was important for facilitating trade and commerce in the region.
