Obverse: Features the Crowned Coat of Arms of Zeeland, which depicts the top half of lion rampant rising out of the sea waves. (The Dutch see the Lion as "emerging", not "sinking" or "drowning"). The shield is crowned with a large, ornate crown. The motto LUCTOR ET EMERGO is inscribed around the upper rim of the shield. This "Struggling Lion" symbol represents the province's constant battle against the sea, and "emerging" by reclaiming ocean floor through dikes. Reverse: Features the name of the province and the date in three lines: ZEE / LAN / DIA / 1736. A "Tower" mintmark is at the top of the coin, indicated the Middleburg mint. This copper duit is one of the most recognizable provincial issues of the Dutch Republic, minted at the Middelburg facility. In 1736, Zeeland was a powerhouse of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). In 1736, the Dutch Republic was a global maritime power. These duits were used not only in the Netherlands, but were exported throughout its colonial maritime empire, especially to the East Indies (modern-day Indonesia) to serve as local currency. Dimensions: Copper. 22 mm. 3.8 g. Pickup category timeslot {A}
