Comment
PW.1501Interesting fact
The ½ Duit coin from the City of Elburg (Dutch Republic) made of Copper weighing 1.2 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic change in the Dutch Republic. The coin was minted during the period of the Dutch East India Company's expansion and the growth of international trade, which brought great wealth to the Netherlands. This coin, along with other coins issued during this time, played an important role in facilitating economic transactions and representing the wealth and power of the Dutch Republic.
