Interesting fact
The 1 Duit coin from West Friesland, Indonesia, made of Copper, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Dutch colonial period in Indonesia, specifically in the West Friesland region. It was issued between 1731 and 1733 and features the image of a lion on one side and the monogram of the Dutch East India Company on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the economic and cultural history of Indonesia during the colonial era.
