Interesting fact
The Silver Ducat - Batavian Republic (West Friesland) 1795-1796 coin from the Netherlands features a unique design element - a small sailing ship, known as a "fluyt," on the reverse side. This ship was a common sight in the waters of the Batavian Republic during that time period and was used for trade and commerce. The inclusion of this design element not only adds a touch of national pride but also serves as a reminder of the country's rich maritime history.
