Interesting fact
The Silver Ducat (Late type) from Province of Holland (Dutch Republic) has an interesting feature. It has a unique design element, a small shield with the coat of arms of the Dutch Republic, located above the date on the reverse side of the coin. This small shield was added to the design to signify the coin's issuance by the Dutch Republic, and it sets the coin apart from other silver ducats of the time.
