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 coin was issued in 1759, just a few years before the Dutch Republic was transformed into the Batavian Republic, a client state of the French Empire. This period of change and upheaval is reflected in the coin's design, which features an image of a lion, symbolizing strength and resilience, on one side, and a depiction of the Dutch Republic's coat of arms on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a testament to the enduring spirit and culture of the Dutch people.
