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 1760-1762, a period when the Dutch Republic was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and a decline in trade. Despite these challenges, the coin was made of gold (.917) and weighed 4.965 grams, indicating the value and importance of the coin at the time. Additionally, the coin features a unique design, with the ½ Golden Rider on one side and the 7 Gulden denomination on the other, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item.
