Interesting fact

The Silver Ducat coin from the City of Zwolle (Dutch States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Dutch States were in the process of forming their own republic, and the minting of this coin was a symbol of their growing independence from Spanish rule. The lion on the coin, which is depicted without arrows, represents the strength and courage of the Dutch people during this time of transition.
