1 Duit West Friesland

The KM#PnD1 designation places this squarely in pattern territory — a silver striking of a denomination that circulated overwhelmingly in copper. West Friesland's VOC duits were among the most prolific of all chamber issues flooding the Indonesian archipelago in the eighteenth century, but a silver specimen at this weight suggests either a presentation piece or a die trial, almost certainly never intended for the Batavia trade.
