NORTHERN NETHERLANDS – REPUBLIC 1581–1795
Holland, city Dordrecht
1/4 guilder 1759 unc

Material: silver
Edge: cable edge

Obverse: crowned Generality coat of arms with the year on both sides.
Reverse: standing Dutch maiden with spear and liberty cap.

Quarter guilder minted at Dordrecht in 1759. This specimen is equipped with a cable edge, characteristic of pieces produced with extra care from this period. The execution distinctly differs from the regular circulating coins with a smooth edge and was presumably intended for representative purposes.

A very sharp specimen with a beautifully turquoise patina, which gives the piece a particularly attractive and authentic appearance. Strong detailing and a carefully preserved coin with excellent presentation.
