Netherlands, Holland Zilveren Duit 1747

Northern Netherlands – Republic of the United Netherlands – Holland – Silver Duit 1747

Silver duit, struck in 1747 for the province of Holland at Dordrecht.

1747 is a rare year within this series, and specimens in this quality are very scarce.
The coin shows a sharp and vivid relief, with well-preserved details and a well-maintained strike quality.

The obverse bears the provincial inscription HOLLANDIA in three lines, with above it the mint master’s mark flower and at the bottom the year 1747.

The reverse depicts the left-facing Dutch lion, standing with a freedom spear and liberty cap within a walled Dutch garden, a characteristic motif that symbolizes the defense of freedom and the independence of the Republic.

This silver duit belongs to the provincial issues of Holland and forms a cherished collecting niche within numismatics due to its historical significance and the relatively limited availability of well-preserved specimens.

The coin is carefully packaged and sent by registered mail, fully insured.
