Interesting fact
The 1 Duit 1756 coin from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) made of Copper weighing 3.09 g is interesting because it features a unique blend of Dutch and Indonesian elements on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of a Dutch East India Company official, while the reverse side features a traditional Indonesian motif of a stylized tree with a pair of birds perched on its branches. This blend of cultures reflects the complex history of Indonesia as a former Dutch colony and adds to the coin's historical significance and collectible value.
