Interesting fact
The 1 Duit coin from the City of Deventer (Dutch Republic) made of Copper was used as a means of payment for everyday transactions, but it was also used as a form of art. The coin features a beautifully detailed image of a knight on horseback, which was a symbol of power and status at the time. The image was so well-crafted that it was often used as a model for other coins and artwork, making it a popular and influential design in the region.
