The Ducaton "Silver Rider" coin from the Province of Gelderland (Dutch Republic) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued between 1704 and 1792, a period that saw the rise of trade and commerce, as well as the formation of new political alliances and conflicts.
