Description from the seller
Zeeland – Silver Rider 1748
Silver Rider, minted in 1748.
Weight: 28.05 g
Diameter: 42 mm
Metal: silver
Mint mark: fortress
Mint master: Pieter Kappeyne
Mint master ornament: three rosettes (six-pointed stars)
Obverse: Armored and helmeted knight, standing to the right. He carries a sword over his right shoulder. In his left hand, he holds the heraldic shield of Zeeland placed in front of him, attached to a cord.
Legend:
MO•NO•ARG•PRO•CON•FOE•BELG•COM•ZEL•
Full: Moneta Nova Argentea Provinciarum Confoederatarum Belgii Comitatus Zelandiae.
Translation: New silver coin of the county of Zeeland of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.

Legend:
CONCORDIA•RES•PARVAE•CRESCUNT•
Translation: Through concord, small things grow.
Exceptionally attractive specimen, with only minimal flowlines on the highest parts. Sharply struck with excellently preserved details in the knight, the arms, and the legends. This specimen also shows a light incuse strike, with parts of the obverse subtly impressed into the reverse. This production deviation, created during striking, is clearly noticeable and forms an interesting peculiarity without detracting from the outstanding quality of the piece.
