Comment
Known as a DukaatInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Batavian Republic (Holland) 1795-1805 coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the Netherlands. The Batavian Republic was established in 1795, after the French Revolution, and was a short-lived republic that lasted until 1805, when it was replaced by the Kingdom of Holland. This coin was minted during this period and features the image of a lion, which symbolizes strength and courage, on one side, and the value of the coin on the other. Despite its relatively short mintage period, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
