Comment
Imitation of the duit of Frisia (see link)Interesting fact
The 1 Duit coin from the Lordship of Reckem (Belgian States) made of Copper weighing 1.3 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the importance of commerce and trade during this period.
