HIMSELF GAVE THE NAME STATEN ISLAND (DUTCH:
STAATEN EYLANDT) TO THAT PART OF WHAT IS NOW
NEW YORK, IN HONOR OF THE STATES-GENERAL OR

This amazing copper "Duit" coin was
minted over 200 years ago and is similar to the ones used by
the Dutch in the era when they bought the island of
Manhattan (present-day New York City) for the equivalent of
$24 in Dutch coins.
These were brought to the colonies by the Dutch when they
settled in New Amsterdam , now New York. Because of that
these are called New York pennies. This is an
historical coin and it would make a great addition to your
collection. |
