| Additional information |
Coevorden's 1994 florin issue belongs to the Dutch tradition of local and regional trade coins — struck not by the national mint in an official capacity but as commemorative municipal currency tied to the city's historical identity as a strategic fortress town that changed hands repeatedly during the Eighty Years' War. The florin denomination itself is a deliberate anachronism, invoking the Dutch guilder's pre-decimal ancestry rather than reflecting any contemporary monetary unit.
