Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Duit (Holland) 1726-1763 from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.45 g is that it was minted during a time when the Dutch East India Company was actively trading and colonizing parts of Indonesia, which was then known as the Netherlands East Indies. The coin features an image of a lion on one side and a crowned shield on the other, symbolizing the Dutch colonial power and its influence in the region. Despite being minted in Indonesia, the coin was not widely circulated among the local population and was primarily used for trade and commerce purposes. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Indonesia and the Netherlands' colonial past.
