| Description |
English: Silver-coated 1754 penny from Zeeland with correct Zeeland motto "Luctor et Emergo" instead of the incorrect "Luctor et Ementor". The incorrect coins (avidly sought by collectors) were minted during the year 1754 and then switched with ones with the correct motto. The stunt was thought to be a joke by the son of Martin Holtzhey, the Middelburg mint master, in whose name the contract was signed in 1754 to be master of the mint. |
