Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Duit 1768-1788 from Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) made of Silver weighing 3.9 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Dutch Republic. The coin was issued during the reign of Stadtholder William V, who was struggling to maintain the power and influence of the Dutch Republic in the face of growing competition from other European powers. Despite these challenges, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
