Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1758 West Friesland Countermark 1 Ducat coin from Indonesia (Netherlands East Indies) is that it was minted using a unique blend of gold and silver, known as "baton" or "liddle," which was a common practice in the region during that time period. This blend of metals gave the coin a distinctive color and durability, making it stand out from other coins of its time.
