Interesting fact
The 1 Duit 1663 coin from the City of Deventer (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was issued during a time when the Dutch Republic was experiencing significant economic growth and trade expansion, and the coin's design reflects this prosperity. The coin features an image of a lion, which symbolizes strength and power, and the reverse side features a shield with the letters "DV" (for Deventer) and a crown, indicating the coin's origin and authority. The fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, also speaks to the coin's intended use as a widely circulating denomination. Overall, this coin offers a fascinating glimpse into the economic and cultural history of the Dutch Republic during the 17th century.
