Comment
Struck to the weight of 1 Gold DucatInteresting fact
The 2 Stuivers (Gold) coin from the Province of Holland (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Dutch Republic was experiencing significant economic growth and trade expansion, particularly in the Dutch East India Company. The coin's gold content and small denomination made it a convenient and valuable currency for international trade, and its mintage during this period signifies the importance of the Dutch Republic as a major economic power in the 18th century.
