Comment
Similar to the gold patterns struck with dies that have the denomination as 10 S (KM#59a) and X S (KM#95a, see link below), but this coin lacks the denomination and is considered as 3 DucatsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Ducats (pattern) 1682 from Province of Holland (Dutch Republic) made of Gold (.986) weighing 10.35 g is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse side of the coin depicts a standing knight holding a shield and a sword, while the reverse side shows the coat of arms of the Dutch Republic. This design was created as a pattern for a new coinage system that was never implemented, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
