Comment
Distinguished from earlier types by absence of wreath obverseInteresting fact
The Stuiver "Bezemstuiver" 1785 from Province of Gelderland (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that contains .333 silver, which was a common practice in the Dutch Republic during that time period. This coin was also relatively small, weighing only 0.8 grams, making it a unique and collectible item for numismatists.
