Interesting fact
The Duit coin from the Province of Gelderland (Dutch Republic) made of Copper weighing 3.84g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The Dutch Republic was facing economic challenges and political instability during this period, and the production of coins was affected by these issues. Despite these challenges, the Duit coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency, and its design and production continued to evolve to meet the needs of the time.
