Real - Fake - What's the Story? Pics Added

Long time lurker, I've got a coin with a date of 1768 with the the Luctor Et Emergo legend. Found this coin when I was a kid and we were stationed in Germany at the time. So far I can only find the below information. So what is the dang story with this coin? I figured with knowledge I've seen on here, y'all would know.

Netherlands-Zeeland : 1 Duit (Copper): 1768
O Legend in wreath
O A ZELAN DIA date
R Crowned arms, Lion left over 3 wavy lines
R LUCTOR ET EMERGO

Youv probaly investigated the value by now, if its real, and I dont know. So If its a "found coin" Id bet real and send it to be slabed.


If its often copied but found in a likely real spot Id def have it slabed.

No ideal of the value, had it since the 70's just found it again recently. Surprised after after all the moves I still have it. Never had it appraised, looked at, or anything.

Don't think there's much value and it looks plenty real.

Agreed, looks real enough & not an expensive coin.

describes the difference in the legends you mentioned.
If you use google, they have a 'translate' option.
