Comment
Verkade Catalog mentions a coin from 1625, but it is questionable that it exists.Interesting fact
The Duit coin from the Province of Gelderland (Dutch Republic) made of Copper weighing 1.8g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during the Dutch Golden Age, a period of great economic, scientific, and cultural prosperity in the Netherlands.
