Het doel van deze coin is reizen en het bezoeken van havenplaatsen, zoals Michiel Adriaensz. de Ruyter dit deed.
The mission of this coin is travel and visit places with a harbor, like Michiel Adriaensz. de Ruyter did.
Michiel de Ruyter (bijgenaamd Bestevaêr ofwel: grootvader) is de bekendste zeeheld in de Nederlandse geschiedenis. In de drie eerste Engels-Nederlandse Oorlogen speelde hij een belangrijke rol. Daarnaast nam hij deel aan diverse oorlogen in de Oostzee en tegen piraterij in de Middellandse Zee. De Ruyter was afwisselend in dienst van de staat en van reders, en was zelfs een tijdlang als zelfstandig ondernemer actief in de walvisvaart. Met speciale dank aan “de Zendmasters” voor het doneren van onze eerste geocoin.
Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter is one of the most famous admirals in Dutch history. De Ruyter is most famous for his role in the Anglo-Dutch Wars of the 17th century. He fought the English and French in these wars and scored several major victories, the best known probably being the Raid on the Medway. The pious De Ruyter was very much loved by his sailors and soldiers; from them his most significant nickname derived: Bestevaêr (older Dutch for 'grandfather'.) He is honoured by a statue in his birthplace Vlissingen, where he stands looking over the sea. Special Thanks to “de Zendmasters” for donating our first geocoin.
