Comment
The location of the date (in field divided by lion, or at end of reverse legend) and presence/absence of Zwolle arms on the lion reverse, differentiate between the various Lion Daalder types of the mid-1600s.Interesting fact
The "Leeuwendaalder" coin from the City of Zwolle in the Dutch States, minted between 1639 and 1646, features a unique design element - a lion without a shield divides the date on the coin's obverse side. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a fascinating collector's item for numismatists.
