"Driebutken van de Drie Steden" (Three Pennies of the Three Cities) is a bronze coin, or "butken", measuring just 2.7 cm in diameter, minted in 1560 by the Three Cities, a confederation of three medieval towns located in the Netherlands. The coin features a simple design consisting of the year "1560" and the inscription "ZW ULLA", surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This small, yet historically significant coin provides a glimpse into the monetary system of the Three Cities during the 16th century.
