Description from the seller
Silver Ducaton – Province of Gelderland – 1734
A handsome silver ducaton struck in 1734 for the Province of Gelderland, minted at Nijmegen during the final century of the Dutch Republic. Ducatons were the principal large silver trade coins of the United Provinces, circulating extensively throughout Europe, the Baltic, the Mediterranean and the Dutch overseas trading network thanks to their dependable weight and high silver fineness. The obverse depicts the iconic armoured horseman holding a raised sword, symbolizing the military strength and independence of the Republic, with the crowned provincial coat of arms below. The reverse displays the crowned arms of the Province of Gelderland, supported by two heraldic lions and surrounded by the traditional Latin inscription. This example originates from the famous De Liefde shipwreck and is accompanied by its Certificate of Authenticity (COA), providing documented provenance that greatly enhances its historical appeal. Despite its time beneath the sea, the coin retains strong details with an attractive natural marine patina, making it an exceptional survivor of one of the Netherlands’ most celebrated numismatic shipwreck discoveries.
