AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Eighth silver ducat of Zeeland, known as a “pietje”, dated 1791 and struck at Middelburg.
Obverse:
Standing armoured knight facing right, holding a shouldered sword and a ribbon supporting the crowned arms of Zeeland. A castle mintmark appears above. The surrounding Latin legend is partly legible.
Reverse:
Crowned arms of the Dutch Republic, depicting a lion holding a sword and a bundle of arrows. A branch and arrows flank the shield. The date is divided above the crown: 17–91.
Historical and numismatic context:
The nickname “pietje” refers to the small standing knight. As an eighth of the silver ducat, this denomination reproduces the principal imagery of the larger coin: the armoured knight with the provincial shield and the crowned arms of the Dutch Republic.
Diameter: 22 mm
Weight: 3.38 g
