Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Dutch Republic. The 1750s saw a significant increase in trade and commerce, as well as the rise of the Dutch East India Company, which had a major impact on the economy and the distribution of wealth in the region. This coin, which was minted during this time period, is a tangible representation of the economic and cultural shifts that were taking place in the Dutch Republic during the mid-18th century.
