Additional information

Historical Context: The Province of Utrecht, a key member of the Dutch Republic, issued this copper 1 Ducat between 1751 and 1792. This era, under Stadtholder William V, was marked by political instability preceding the Batavian Republic. Ducats were traditionally gold trade coins; therefore, this copper variant is highly unusual
