Comment
The KM catalog lists two gold strikes of the 1682 ½ Gulden at 10.5 grams (P42 and Pn6), but does not describe then in detail. This coin lacks the value flanking the shield obverse, but is probably meant to be one of these.
Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Gulden (Gold pattern) 1682 from Province of Utrecht (Dutch Republic) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, with a portrait of Stadtholder William III on one side and a depiction of the Dutch lion on the other. This coin was likely created as a prototype or sample, and its design was never adopted for mass production. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and historians interested in the numismatics of the Dutch Republic.
