CoinOfNote , 12 days ago to histodons There aren't usually too many stories about very old coins being dug up in Australia. Here is a 1754 Dutch East India Company Duit found after 284 years buried near Hobart, Tasmania: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-21/pre-colonial-dutch-east-indies-coin-from-1754-found-in-hobart/104245932 #Coins #Numismatics #News #Australia #CoinCollecting #MetalDetecting #HIstory #Histodons @numismatics @histodons A close up of the coin with VOC clearly visible (the O and C are over the top of the arms of the V), and 175 with a hint of the 4 underneath
