AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Northern Netherlands, Republic of Zeeland, Middelburg. Very attractive and richly detailed specimen of the Zeeland silver ducat from 1764.
Struck during the short period in which Martinus Holtzhey Sr. and Martinus Holtzhey Jr. were jointly connected with the Zeeland Mint as master of the mint. Characteristic is the double loop in the ribbon of the arrows bundle of the generality coat of arms, introduced after Martinus Holtzhey Jr. was appointed alongside his father on 2 December 1760. At the same time the rosettes above the generality coat of arms disappeared, the mint-master mark of Holtzhey Sr. After his death in 1764 Holtzhey Jr. from 1766 used two stars as mint-master marks, which also after his death in 1788 remained on the Zeeland ducats.
Obverse: Armored and helmeted knight to the right, with raised sword in the right hand and the crowned provincial coat of arms before him, held by a double-laid cord. Inscription: MON·NO·ARG·PRO·CONFOE·BELG·COM·ZEL·♖.
Reverse: Crowned generality coat of arms, flanked by the year 17–64, with inscription: CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCUNT.
References: Delmonte 976 | Verkade 87.1 | HNPM 50 | CNM 2.49.50 | Davenport 1848. Medal strike
A historically interesting type from the transitional period of father and son Holtzhey, in which the double loop in the arrows bundle symbolizes their joint mintership. This makes this issue a beloved collectible within Zeeland and Dutch provincial coinage.
