Interesting fact
The Rijksdaalder coin from West Friesland (Dutch Republic) has an interesting feature. It has a unique mintmark, a small knight's head, which was used to indicate that the coin was minted in the city of Hoorn. This mintmark was only used on coins minted in Hoorn between 1586 and 1596, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
