Coin, from the Dutch city-province of Utrecht. I believe the only copper type with the city name in Dutch rather than Latin (Trajectum) was the duit (pronounced "doyt"). Duits of 1745 should have the coat of arms of the province, a shield bisected diagonally being supported by two lions. KM#91, not particularly scarce.

In some parts of the world, "not worth a duit" is a slang expression meaning "worthless" - and it originates with these coins. One can hardly say duits are "worthless" today, especially to collectors: CV probably around $5 in that condition.

As I said, it's a coin. Prior to the French revolutionary invasion, each of the Dutch provinces issued their own coins.
