Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gulden 1763-1764 coin from the Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a coat of arms or a monarch, the coin features a representation of a beehive, surrounded by flowers and foliage. This design was meant to symbolize the importance of industry and trade in the region, as well as the idea of "sweetness" and "fruitfulness" that the province was known for. This distinctive design makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
