Dukaton uit het wrak van de Oost-Indiëvaarder Liefde 1711

This silver ducaton, minted in 1711 by the Province of Utrecht, is a historical artifact from the wreck of the Dutch East India Company ship "Liefde". Depicting a mounted figure holding a sword, the coin's design likely represents a Dutch monarch or a symbol of the province. Its discovery from the ship's wreckage sheds light on the trade and maritime history of the Netherlands in the early 18th century. This coin offers a glimpse into the cultural and economic significance of the Dutch East India Company, a powerful organization that dominated global trade for centuries.
