Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Duit (West Friesland) 1756 from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) made of Silver weighing 3.65 g is that it features a unique blend of Dutch and Indonesian design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a Dutch East India Company ship, while the reverse side features a traditional Indonesian motif known as the "bunga rampai," which is a stylized representation of a flower or a bouquet of flowers. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred between the Dutch and Indonesian cultures during the colonial period.
