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 a wealthy middle class, which led to an increased demand for coinage. As a result, the Provincial Government of Utrecht, where this coin was minted, was able to issue its own coinage, such as this ¼ Gulden, which was used for everyday transactions. Despite being made of silver, this coin was still relatively small in value, indicating that it was intended for use by the general population, rather than the wealthy elite. This coin is a tangible reminder of the economic and social changes that were taking place in the Dutch Republic during this time period.
