Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Willem I (Countermark) 1771 coin from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) is that it was issued during a time when the Dutch East India Company was actively involved in the spice trade in the region. The coin's gold content and the fact that it was countermarked with the image of Willem I, the Prince of Orange, reflect the influence of Dutch trade and commerce in the region during that time.
