Interesting fact
The Lebuinusstuiver coin from the Bishopric of Utrecht (Dutch States) in 1509 is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Additionally, the coin's design featured an image of Saint Lebuinus, who was a missionary and bishop in the region, and was revered for his role in spreading Christianity. The coin's minting was likely a way for the Bishopric of Utrecht to promote their religious beliefs and to solidify their power and influence in the region.
