Comments

The denomination written on coin 5 equal 1/32 gulden means 1/160 gulden. However, in 1802 the rate of exchange was set so that 6 duits should equal 1/16 gulden which means the 1/2 duit equaled 1/192 gulden, but because of the perennial shortage of small coins, the error was ignored and the coins released to circulation. (Adopted from the Standard Catalog of World Coins).
