Comment
A variation of the obverse legend ending in GELDRIA was used in 1760Interesting 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 during the reign of Stadtholder William IV, who was instrumental in implementing reforms to stabilize the Dutch economy and strengthen the country's military. Despite these efforts, the coin's value was still subject to fluctuations in the global gold market, and its value relative to other currencies varied over time.
