Description:
Front: A crowned sovereign standing in a ship, holding a sword and shield; on the ship’s hull a rose. The shield bears a quarterly coat of arms with the Stichtse lion (1 and 4) and the city coat of arms of Utrecht (2 and 3). Hexagonal bow; at the stern a banner with a climbing lion. Inscription:
∙:∙NEW COIN OF THE TRAECTEN ORDER∙ (New coin of the Traiectine Order)
New coin of the Utrecht region.
Reverse: Radiant nimbus (sun) with a rose at the heart, resting on a floral cross; in the cantons, leopards passant under a crown. Mint mark between lozenges with four points, directly above a flower of the cross. Between the inner circle and the eight-pearled ring, eight pearls. Legend:
In harmony, small things grow.
Through unity, small matters grow (freely translated: unity is strength).
Historical context:
The Dutch half-rose noble is a late imitation of the English half-rose noble of Edward IV (1461–1470). Because of international trade, this type was very popular, which made imitation attractive. At issue the exchange rate was 4 guilders and 2½ stuivers; as is customary with gold coins, it was subject to fluctuations. A total of 188,881 specimens of this coin type were minted.
Condition and rarity:
Rare. Minute flaws in the strike, but a particularly beautiful specimen with sharp details and a very attractive appearance.
