Comment
Grolle 12.3.1; vH. 47/48Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Kopje" coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the Dutch East India Company, which was established in 1602 and played a significant role in the Dutch Golden Age of trade and exploration. The coin's silver content and standardized design made it a reliable and valuable form of currency for international trade.
