| Additional information |
The VOC duit was the workhorse of small transactions across the Dutch colonial archipelago, and Zeeland's chamber was among the last still striking them as the Company entered its terminal collapse. By 1792 the VOC was functionally insolvent, carrying debts that would force its dissolution and nationalization by the Batavian Republic in 1799. These late Zeeland issues were struck knowing the end was near — the chamber's mint output during this window was erratic, which accounts for the die variety spread documented across the Scholt references for this type.
