Netherlands, Holland Zilveren Duit 1747

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

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

1747 is a rare year within this series, and specimens in this quality are extremely scarce.
The coin shows a sharp and lively relief, with well-preserved details and a neatly preserved field 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 a liberty cap within an enclosed Dutch garden, a characteristic motif symbolizing the defense of freedom and the independence of the Republic.

This silver ducat belongs to the provincial issues of Holland and forms a cherished collecting area 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.
