Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Duit (West Friesland) coin from Indonesia (Netherlands East Indies) is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time, but it's also notable that this coin was issued during the Dutch colonial period in Indonesia, specifically between 1729 and 1794. This coin was used as a means of exchange among the local population, and its design may have reflected the cultural and economic influences of the Dutch East India Company, which played a significant role in the region's trade and commerce during that era.
