Description from the seller
Dutch single gold coin, Netherlands 1994, historical Dutch coin
The golden ducat has a long history. The first golden ducat was minted in Venice in the 13th century. In the following centuries, other European countries also issued ducats. These ducats had the same weight and gold content, making the golden ducat a valued trade coin worldwide. The first Dutch golden ducat was minted in the 16th century. In 1586, the ducat was officially incorporated into the Dutch Coin Act, and this remains the case into the 21st century. The Dutch ducat was initially minted in the provinces and, from 1808 onwards, by the Royal Mint.
The gold ducat is not only remarkable for its history of use but also for its design, which has changed minimally since its first issuance in the 16th century. On the obverse, a standing armored knight is depicted, holding a sword in his right hand and a bundle of arrows in his left. Around the edge is the Latin inscription: 'Concordia Res Parvae Crescunt,' meaning 'Unity makes small things grow.' On the reverse, the Latin text 'Mo. Aur. Reg. Belgii Ad Legem Imperii' is inscribed, which means 'Gold coin of the Kingdom of the Netherlands'.
No border inscription
Both the knight and the decoration on the reverse were only slightly modified over the centuries.
The gold ducats during Beatrix's reign have always been struck with polished stamps.
The special feature of this dukaat is that it is executed in a so-called medaille slag. In this case, both sides of the coin are mirrored, unlike a typical dukaat, where flipping the coin causes the image on the other side to appear upside down.
The Golden Ducat is a genuine investors' coin, with its weight and gold content guaranteed by the government. The gold coin is also well tradable internationally. The coin is not legal tender.
As a reminder of the trading history, Dutch gold ducats are still struck annually in a limited edition (about 2000 pieces). The single gold ducat weighs 3.494 grams and has a gold content of 983/1000 = 23.6 karats. The coin has a diameter of 21 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm.
The coin is carefully packaged in a capsule and shipped with track & trace, registered and insured to value, sent with PostNL.
