Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat coin from the Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued between 1762 and 1793, a period that saw the Dutch Republic become increasingly involved in global trade and commerce, as well as experiencing significant political upheaval, including the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War and the French Revolution. Despite these challenges, the ¼ Ducat coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce in the Dutch Republic during this time.
