Comment
Known as a DukaatInteresting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Batavian Republic (Gelderland) minted between 1795 and 1802 is interesting because it was issued during a brief period of political and social upheaval in the Netherlands. The Batavian Republic was established in 1795 after the French Revolutionary Wars and lasted until 1806, when it was replaced by the Kingdom of Holland. This coin was minted during that short period, making it a unique piece of history.
