Extremely rare die variant

The distinguishing feature of this specimen is the absence of the dot after CRESCUNT.

This issue occurs only very sporadically and forms an extremely rare die variant of the Zeeland silver ducat of 1795.

The variant thus deviates from the regular issue and is designated as a variant for the respective types.
