The French Revolutionary Wars progressed into the Netherlands after the fall of resistance in Luxembourg and the defeat of Prussia & allies there. The Batavian Republic was established over portions of the Netherlands, which was already considered a republic.
The obverse legend is a bit different than KM's SCWC for the 1700's, so I'm seeking a detailed attribution for this piece.
Obverse legend: MO : ARG : ORD : FAED: BELG : HOLL; except for the FAED (w/'AE' conjoined) everything matches KM# 8.2 but the FAED should be FOE. The FAED is listed for KM# 18 but that is considered a pattern by some experts and the denomination should be 'GL' rather than just the 'G'.
Reverse legend: HAC NITIMVR HANC TVEMVR; in an apparent error by KM, all 1 G catalog listings show NITEMVR while the poor photo shows the legend above.
Revolution!
Netherlands - Batavian Republic 1G 1795
