Comment
The 1770 has smaller letters, especially the word EN:© Heritage Europe
These Duiten were minted for the Ommelanden at the Gelderland mint in Harderwijk. The placard of July 30, 1770 already stated that after March 1, 1771 only Duiten from the Ommelanden would be valid. On May 20, 1779, this had to be brought to the attention again by means of a new placard because other Duiten were again spotted in circulation.
Mint master: Carel Christiaan Novisadi.
Interesting fact
The Duit coin from the Province of Groningen and the Ommelanden (Dutch Republic) made of Copper weighing 3.84 g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The coin was minted during the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War (1770-1772), which was a conflict between the Dutch Republic and Great Britain. Despite the war, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was used for everyday transactions. This highlights the resilience and adaptability of the people in the region, who continued to use their currency despite the challenges they faced.
