Comment
Also known as "Gigot des Etats" (fr)Interesting fact
The 1 Duit "Statenduit" coin from the Lordship of Overijssel (Dutch States) was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Netherlands. The Dutch Revolt, which began in 1568, was a rebellion against Spanish rule that lasted for over a century. During this time, many different factions and provinces issued their own coins, leading to a diverse array of coinage. The "Statenduit" coin, with its distinctive design and copper composition, is a unique example of this tumultuous period in Dutch history.
