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 1761, just a few years before the Dutch Republic was transformed into the Batavian Republic, a client state of the French Empire. This period of change and upheaval is reflected in the design of the coin, which features a depiction of a golden rider on one side and the coat of arms of the Province of Groningen and the Ommelanden on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Dutch Republic.
