Gold 1780 United Netherlands 'HOL' Ducat
Hi all,
Started searching filled area at base of a bridge, lots of penny hits, got what I think may be another state cent ( smaller than a George HP),
Turned a clump of mud, found a modern penny, scanned the pile again,
peeled it open and the Sun Just Shined !
Bright as the day it was milled, 1780 Netherlands Ducat, Many with 'TRA' above sword sent to Ceylon for spice payments, This one with 'HOL' was intended for local use. Maybe I'll go back today......
HH everyone
