Interesting fact
The 1 Ducaton coin from Indonesia, also known as the Netherlands East Indies, is interesting because it was made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin from 1742 to 1751. This means that it was a widely used coin in the Indonesian archipelago during that time period, and it was valued for its silver content. Additionally, the fact that it was issued by the Netherlands East Indies, a colonial power that ruled Indonesia for several centuries, makes it a unique and interesting historical artifact.
