Comment
The Utrecht coat of arms has a flat top until 1758. From 1758 on the top is curved.Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Duit (Utrecht city) 1753-1794 from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) made of Silver weighing 1.7 g is a rare and valuable coin that was minted during the Dutch colonial era in Indonesia. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the blending of Dutch and Indonesian cultures. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a Dutch East India Company ship, while the reverse side features a traditional Indonesian motif known as the "Batik" pattern. This fusion of designs reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the two nations during this period.
