Duit is the name of a small bargaining chip of the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands in the 17th and 18th centuries. The name comes from the Old Norse word \"thveit\", meaning a small coin (literally \"cut off a piece\"). Duit appeared at the beginning of the 17th century, was equal to 2 pennings and was 1/8 of a stuver or 1/160 of a Dutch guilder. Coins were minted from copper, very rarely from silver and gold. With a diameter of 22-23 mm, they had an average weight of 3-3.8 grams.Duits were minted in seven provinces: Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland, Friesland, Overijssel, Groningen and Ommeland. Also, their duets were produced in West Frisia, which was part of the province of HollandDuits were minted until 1816, when a monetary reform was carried out in the country and the guilder began to be divided into 100 cents. Old coins remained in circulation until the forties of the 19th century.
Dutch Colonial New York PennyThis amazing Duit copper coin was minted over 200 years ago and is similar to those used by the Dutch during the era when they bought Manhattan Island (modern New York) for the equivalent of $24 in Dutch coins. They were brought to the colonies by the Dutch when they settled in New Amsterdam, now New York. Because of this, they are called New York pennies. This is a historic coin and would be a great addition to your collection. Mint Zeeland VOC - Dutch East India Company.
