Ship's Shilling Utrecht 1785 Pr
weight 4.74gr. | silver Ø 27mm.

mintmark city shield of Utrecht (on the mirror)
engraver Jan Willem Marmé In the years 1785-1786 only 2,915 pieces of ship's shillings were minted.
Unlike the ship's shillings of Holland, West Friesland, Zeeland and the Utrecht ship’s shilling from before 1765, these shillings were intended for domestic use and were not struck on behalf of the VOC for trade to the East.
Evidence of this small edition and the high-quality workmanship of the dies suggests that these shillings were primarily used as presentation pieces.
This also explains why, despite the small editions, a relatively large number of these ship's shillings have been preserved and mostly in high quality. After all, they were keepsakes. Rare. Verkade 113.4 | HNPM.84 | CNM.2.43.137   R

Scheepjeschelling Utrecht 1785 Pr
gewicht 4,74gr. | zilver Ø 27mm.
muntmeester Johan Sebastiaan van Naamen
muntteken stadsschildje van Utrecht (op spiegel)
stempelsnijder Jan Willem Marmé In de jaren 1785-1786 werden slechts 2.915 stuks scheepjesschellingen aangemunt. In tegenstelling tot de scheepjesschellingen van Holland, West-Friesland, Zeeland en Utrechtse scheepjesschelling van voor 1765 waren deze schellingen dan ook voor binnenlands gebruik bestemd en zijn ze niet in opdracht van de V.O.C. geslagen voor de handel op de Oost. Getuige deze kleine oplage en de kwalitatief hoogstaande vervaardiging van de stempels, zullen deze schellingen voornamelijk als presentiestukken gebruikt zijn. Dit verklaard ook dat ondanks de kleine oplages, relatief veel van deze scheepjesschellingen bewaard zijn gebleven en veelal in een hoge kwaliteit. Het waren immers bewaarstukken. Zeldzaam.
