Comment
This type succeeded the earlier Nederlandse Rijksdaalder (see link) and can be differentiated by the thin inner circle (not beaded)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nederlandse Rijksdaalder coin from the Province of Utrecht (Dutch Republic) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Netherlands. The coin was issued between 1650 and 1700, a period known as the Dutch Golden Age, when the Netherlands was experiencing significant growth and prosperity in trade, commerce, and the arts. The coin's design, featuring the Dutch lion and the motto "Je maintiendrai" (I will maintain), reflects the country's growing sense of national identity and pride during this time.
