Comment
Mintmaster sign: Rooster (Teunis Kist, 1741-1761)Interesting fact
The Duit (Rooster) coin from West Friesland (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it features a unique design, with a rooster on one side and a shield with the Dutch Republic's coat of arms on the other. This design was meant to symbolize the region's agricultural wealth and its connection to the Dutch Republic. Additionally, the coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it's interesting to note that the coin's weight was relatively light, at only 3.22 grams.
