Details

There are several variants: Type A > + I + / .1819. / 2 stripes, without bow around laurel wreath Type B > + I + / .18.19. / 2 stripes + bow around laurel wreath (photo 3) Type C > I / .1819. Type D > (diamond) I (diamond) / .1819. / 2 stripes The handy grocer "Bleijenstein" from Utrecht bought these pfenningen in Germany, and then marketed them as duit in the Netherlands. Naturally this brought him profit. However, when he later refused to accept them as payment, his house was plundered by the aggrieved Utrecht population in 1821. These pfennings were also issued in 's-Hertogenbosch by Franciscus van Lanschot, which is why these pfennings were also called "Lanschotjes".
