Interesting fact
The 1 Ducaton coin from Indonesia, also known as the Netherlands East Indies, is interesting because it was made of silver and had a unique design. The obverse side features an image of a lion, which symbolizes strength and power, while the reverse side shows the Dutch East India Company's monogram, "VOC," surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This coin was used as a form of currency during the Dutch colonial period in Indonesia and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
