Netherlands declared their independence from Spanish domination in 1581 and became the republic of the United Netherlands. During the period 1600-1795, coins were struck by the various cities and provinces. The 6 Stuiver was affectionately known as a “Ship Shilling” by the sailors of the day, as they are the same size and about the same value as the British shilling of the day.

    In the following century, the "Golden Age" of Dutch history, the Netherlands became a great sea and colonial power for the Arts and a refruge for the persecuted.
