Grolle 11.9.1, van Hengel C 36, f.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Penny "Kopje" - Floris V ND (1293-1296) from County of Holland (Dutch States) made of Silver weighing 0.45 g is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The County of Holland was part of the Dutch States, a confederation of provinces in the Low Countries that would eventually become the Netherlands. This coin was minted during the reign of Floris V, who was the Count of Holland and Zeeland from 1293 until his death in 1296. This time period saw significant political and economic changes in the region, including the rise of trade and commerce, and the formation of new cities and towns. The minting of this coin reflects the growing prosperity and influence of the County of Holland during this time.
