Interesting fact
The 1 Silver Ducat coin from West Friesland was used as a form of currency in the Dutch Republic during the 17th century. It was made of silver and weighed 28.25 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin's design featured the date and a coat of arms on the obverse side, and the reverse side featured an image of a knight. The coin was used for both domestic and international trade, and its value was equivalent to 320 Dutch guilders. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
