Żeton ten krążył również jako Duits w Holandii około 1820 roku. Importowano je z powodu niedoboru małych nominałów.

Żeton ten jest znany w Holandii jako Bleyensteinse Duit, od nazwiska sklepikarza Bleyensteina, który wydawał je jako resztę, ale odmówił przyjęcia tych żetonów jako płatności. Wściekły tłum splądrował jego dom w proteście. Żetony wkrótce zniknęły, gdy nowe monety o nominałach pół centa i centa stały się dostępne w wystarczających ilościach. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

This token also circulated as Duits in the Netherlands around 1820. They were imported because of a shortage of small denominations.

This token is known in the Netherlands as Bleyensteinse Duit, after the shopkeeper Bleyenstein who gave them as change but refused to accept these tokens as payments. A furious crowd plundered his house in protest. The tokens soon disappeared after new Half Cent & Cent coins became available in sufficient quantities.
