Interesting fact
The Stuiver coin from the Bishopric of Utrecht, minted between 1468 and 1474, features an image of David van Bourgondie, the Bishop of Utrecht during that time. This coin is notable for being one of the first coins to feature a real person, rather than a symbol or an image of a saint, which was a common practice in medieval coinage. This fact highlights the importance of David van Bourgondie and the influence he had in the region during his tenure as Bishop.
