This small, copper "Zwolse duit" coin was minted in 1639 by the city of Zwolle, Netherlands. The coin features the city's coat of arms and the inscription "ZWOLLE" surrounding it. The coin is a prime example of a Dutch "duit," a small denomination coin used in the Netherlands from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Its small size and weight reflect its low value, making it a fascinating artifact for numismatists and historians studying Dutch monetary history.
