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 after the Seven Years' War, which had a significant impact on the Dutch economy. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of William V, who was the last Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic before it was overthrown and replaced by the Batavian Republic in 1795. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history and political changes that took place in the Dutch Republic during this time period.
