Comment
Mint master: Simon RottermontInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats coin from the Province of Holland (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and cultural prosperity in the region. The Dutch Republic was a powerful trading nation during the 17th century, and the coinage of the time reflected the wealth and influence of the region. The 2 Ducats coin, made of gold (.986) and weighing 7.02g, would have been a valuable and highly sought-after coin during its time in circulation.
