It looks like a copper replica of a silver rider of 1690 (date above the shield) Report this Post to the Staff
bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 03/18/2013 5:26 pm On this Dutch forum a similar coin has been discussed: http://munthunter.nl/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10924 Your coin is a contemporary forgery of a 6 stuiver from Deventer. Yours bears the date 1690. Those forgeries where plated with a thin layer of silver. In many cases this layer was washed off very quick so you get a copper 6 stuiver instead of a silver one.
