Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducaton (gold) 1673 from West Friesland (Dutch Republic) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the province of West Friesland, which is not typically found on other Dutch coins from the same period. This suggests that the coin may have been minted specifically for use in West Friesland, and could have been a symbol of regional pride and identity.
