Comment
Off-metal strike in gold, to the weight of 6 ducats, showing arms of the seven provinces on reverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Dutch Republic. The 1680s saw the country experiencing a period of rapid economic growth, known as the "Golden Age," which was fueled by trade, shipping, and colonization. The Province of Utrecht was a key player in this economic boom, and the minting of this gold coin reflects the region's growing wealth and influence during this time.
