Comment
While CNG (who auctioned this example) calls it an off-metal strike in gold, the denomination and weight, and inscription (MO ... AUR) are consistent with a gold coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Gulden coin from the Province of Zeeland (Dutch Republic) made of Gold weighing 20.8g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the Dutch Republic. The coin was minted between 1683 and 1687, a period known as the "Golden Age" of the Dutch Republic, during which the country experienced a period of great prosperity and cultural achievement. The coin's design, which features an image of a lion holding a shield with the Zeeland coat of arms, symbolizes the province's strength and wealth during this time.
