Interesting fact
The 1 Duit 1644 coin from the City of Kampen (Dutch States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the Netherlands. The Dutch States were in the process of forming their own government and minting their own coins, which made them less dependent on foreign powers. This coin, made of copper and weighing 2.06 grams, was a significant step towards the development of a national currency and represents a unique moment in Dutch history.
