Description from the seller
Deventer – Duit | Variant DAVENTRIA in large letters

Deventer belonged to the historic Hanseatic League cities and had a rich trade and minting history. As a city with its own minting tradition, Deventer brought several urban coin types into circulation, of which this ducat is a characteristic example.
This piece stands out for the distinctive inscription variant DAVENTRIA, executed in large letters. An interesting typological detail that makes this issue especially attractive to collectors of urban coinage and specialized variants.
