Hi, as I still cant put my Delft's Duyt coin in my collection at Numista, which is defenitely not just a token but a kind of hybrid of the coin and trade token as citizens paid by it (and I heard such coins/trade tokens exist in other cities of the Netherlands) I would offer to create the line "Dutch cities" in the Netherlands section of a new list :
These coins were some sort of local folklore commemorative tokens that could be used for payments only in a limited amount of shops. They are indeed different from other types of tokens but I wouldn't call them coins. I understand they could be grouped in some sort of Dutch token section but not as a 'country'.
These are no coins, but tokens as you said. Only a few kind of "duiten" were minted in name of the city Delft middle 16th century. No duiten were minted in the decimalized Guilder period (1817-date)
