Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1792 Silver Ducat from Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The Dutch Republic was in the process of being overthrown by the French Revolutionary Army, and the province of Zeeland was one of the last holdouts against the French occupation. Despite the turmoil, the minting of this coin continued, and it remains a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Zeeland during this time.
