Pre-colonial #DutchEastIndies 1 duit #coin from 1754 found in #Hobart by father and son.
A #Tasmanian #detectorist has found a Dutch East Indies 1 duit coin that pre-dates colonisation in the state.
While the coin itself is not rare, it's an uncommon find in #Tasmania.
While the coin won't make him rich, the man who discovered it says the joy is in the finding and "the mystery" attached.
