Interesting fact
The ½ Duit (Negapatnam) ND (1695) coin from Dutch India is interesting because it was issued during a time when the Dutch East India Company was actively involved in the spice trade, particularly in pepper, which was a valuable commodity at the time. The coin's design may have been influenced by the cultural exchange between the Dutch and the local Indian populations, and it is a unique example of the blending of European and Indian styles in numismatics.
