Comment
The coins from 1601-1602 theoretically weight 5.13 grams (1/48 of a Mark).Interesting fact
The 1 Oord coin from the Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Dutch Republic was a confederation of seven provinces that had recently gained independence from Spain, and the minting of coins was an important symbol of their newfound sovereignty. The 1 Oord coin was one of the first coins to be minted by the Province of Zeeland, and it featured an image of a lion on one side and the coat of arms of Zeeland on the other. The coin was made of copper and weighed 5.1 grams, making it a substantial and valuable currency for its time. Despite its age, the 1 Oord coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today, and it serves as a fascinating reminder of the rich history and culture of the Dutch Republic.
