This small copper coin, known as a "Zwolse duit," was minted in Zwolle, Netherlands in 1618. It measures only 2.2 cm in diameter and weighs 2.48 grams. The coin's face features an inscription that reads "ZW OLLI 1618," representing the city's name and the year of minting. The inscription is surrounded by a floral design. This coin provides a glimpse into the currency of the Dutch Republic in the early 17th century.
