Reckheimse duit van Ferdinand van Aspremont-Lynden (1636-1665) 1636 - 1665

This copper coin, or duit, was minted in the Netherlands between 1636 and 1665 by Ferdinand van Aspremont-Lynden, the lord of Reckheim. The coin, which is only 2 centimeters in diameter and weighs 1.25 grams, features a wreath of leaves and a small inscription. The inscription, which is difficult to read clearly, may refer to Ferdinand or to the region of Reckheim itself. While small and seemingly simple, this coin provides a glimpse into the history of the Netherlands, particularly the political and economic landscape during the 17th century.
