Copper VOC duit from 1731, struck in the provincial mint of Gelderland in Harderwijk, intended for trade and payments in the overseas territories of the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie.
Historical background
The VOC, founded in 1602, grew in the 17th and 18th centuries into one of the world's leading trading companies. For payments in its Asian trading areas the company had copper duits produced in various Dutch provincial mints.
