Interesting fact
The 1 Ducaton 1673 coin from West Friesland features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "W.F." (for West Friesland) located above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate its origin and distinguish it from other coins issued by the Dutch Republic.
