Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Dutch Republic. The coin was issued in 1724, just a few years after the formation of the Dutch East India Company, which had a significant impact on the Dutch economy. Additionally, the coin was minted during a period of political turmoil, as the Dutch Republic was struggling to maintain its independence from neighboring powers. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
