Description from the seller
Utrecht 1764 – Gulden
NORTHERN NETHERLANDS – REPUBLIC (1581–1795)
Province Utrecht | Gulden | 1764
Mintmaster: Johan Ernst Novisadi
Coin stamp: city shield of Utrecht
References: Delmonte 1182 | Verkade 111.2 | CNM 2.43.121 | Van der Wiel 39 (JMP 1960) | HNPM 73
An exceptionally attractive Utrecht gulden from 1764, struck during the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. Utrecht held an important position within the monetary system of the Republic as a minting site. This gulden forms a characteristic eighteenth‑century testimony of that system, produced under mintmaster Johan Ernst Novisadi and recognizable by the city shield of Utrecht as the coin sign.
The obverse bears the Dutch Maiden, standing and facing to the right. In her right hand she holds a spear with a liberty cap, while her left arm rests on an open Bible placed on a柱e. A distinctly republican representation in which liberty, independence and the identity of the United Netherlands come together.
The reverse is dominated by the crowned Generality coat of arms of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands, flanked by the year 17 – 64. In the center stands the Dutch lion with a sword and a bundle of arrows, the tied arrows referring to the unity and strength of the seven provinces.
In this specimen the original features of the striking are remarkably well preserved. The strong relief, clearly defined contours and the finer details in both the Dutch Maiden and the crowned arms give the coin a particularly convincing appearance. Also the inscriptions stand out clearly from the coin surface.
Remarkably, there is also a minimal degree of wear. The usual smoothing of the higher parts hardly occurs, allowing the original modeling and detailing of the dies to show their finest effects. For a gulden that in its time was actually intended for everyday payments, such a degree of preservation is especially attractive.
A unique historical object with an imposing presentation, in which the Utrecht minting of 1764 is splendidly preserved. A gulden that distinguishes itself not only by its historical significance, but especially by the combination of sharp relief, minimal circulation marks and exceptionally preserved details – qualities that make this specimen a distinctive addition to a specialized collection.
