Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1757 Zeeland Ducat is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting process and was believed to have been done to signify the coin's authenticity. This feature is not commonly found in other coins of the time period, making the Zeeland Ducat a distinctive and interesting piece for collectors.
