Stuivers worth
Stuiver wasn't small coin.

It was pegged with silver content of one Polish Zloty. From 1667 till 1768 Polish Zloty was known as Timph/Tymph. Surpluses from trade circulated in Netherlands under that name. First: One Duit was a pretty penny: Mint from natural unrefined copper, with silver and gold content. It weight some grams and was worth of effort. (Why to rafine natural copper before use.)

So it would go:

Guilder: 2 Stuivers,

Florin: 2.8 Stuivers

Daalder: 3 Stuivers (Daalder: one łut Tallar)

Rijksdaalder: 5 Stuivers (Rijksdaalder: one ounce Tallar)

But not: Guilder - 20; Florin - 28; Daalder - 30; Rijksdaalder - 50;

Ducat - 5-8-10 pieces

Timph coin: ~31 mm diameter, ~1 mm across. Look similar to any Tallar pieces. Those are popular pieces in numismatic trade. One I have look like 6.5-8.5 gram.

That is important article for Polish history, so I didn't make any changes in it, not in any related articles.

Timph was ONLY big coin of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth 1667-1768. Ony two small silver pieces worth 1/4 and 1/8 of Timph (Szostak, Trojak), and two small copper pieces worth 1/30 and 1/90 of Timph (1/90 made rumors for being a trash). Timph was however traded much higher than one Stivier inside of Poland-Lithuania borders by land posesors and traded higher than it's silver content - Timph was 'Patriot Coin' minted only 1663-1666 in time of national troubles. Was newer minted by other yr date.
