Interesting fact
The ½ Ducaton 1664 coin from West Friesland features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "W" and "F" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "West Friesland". This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate its origin and distinguish it from other coins minted in the Dutch Republic.
