AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Northern Netherlands – Republic of Zeeland
Lion thaler 1597 – type “swimming lion”

Catalog: CNM 2.49.39 – Delmonte 838
Nominal value: Lion thaler
Year: 1597
Material: Silver
Mint area: Zeeland

Lion thaler minted in 1597 for the province of Zeeland. This concerns the so-called type with the “swimming lion,” recognizable by the characteristic horizontal depiction of the lion.

The obverse shows the standing, armored knight with sword and shield. The knight’s visage is clearly visible and well preserved, which is not necessarily evident for this early type.

The reverse shows the lion in the shield with inscription and the year 1597.

For this type, an exceptionally well-preserved specimen, with strong relief and clear details in the central image.

The lion thaler was issued from the end of the 16th century and was intended for international trade, with broad circulation especially in the Baltic and Levant regions.
