Interesting fact
The Silver Ducat was a popular trade coin in the Dutch Republic during the 18th century, and the privy mark obverse on this particular coin indicates that it was minted in the region of West Friesland. The coin's design features an image of a knight on horseback, representing the Dutch Republic's coat of arms, and the inscription "MO:ORD:PROV:FRISIA" which stands for "Munt van de Provincie Friesland" or "Mint of the Province of Friesland." The use of the privy mark and the specific design elements on this coin helped to ensure its authenticity and value in trade.
