Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Duit (Silver) 1739-1794 from City of Utrecht (Dutch Republic) made of Silver weighing 3.76 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the Dutch Republic. The coin was minted in the late 18th century, a period of political and social upheaval in the Netherlands, marked by the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, the French Revolution, and the subsequent Batavian Revolution. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Dutch Republic and its rich history of coinage.
