Title
Modern coin: diuit of the Dutch East India Company
Description
English: Modern duit, a coin of the Dutch East India company dating from 1760 or 1766. The coin bears the company logo VOC on the obverse the shield of Zeeland (a province of Holland) on the reverse: a lion above the waves.

By the seventeenth century the Netherlands had become a prosperous country through its shipping trade across Europe and its trade links with the Far East. The United Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) was formed in 1602 in order to unite various small trade companies which had created commercial links with the India and the Far East during the late sixteenth century. With bases in Sri Lanka, India and Indonesia, the Company became a powerful trade organization. It was even given powers of rule over its dominions, along similar lines to those of the English East India Company. Like its British rival, the Dutch East India Company issued coins for trade in its dominions. The coin bears the Company's monogram (VOC) and the date.
