NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5191 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 11:47 am Netherlands 1781, Utrecht. https://www.ebay.com/itm/393892507733 The position of the devices look slightly off to me. The dot after "....UNT" on the reverse seems too small and in the wrong position. Report this Post to the Staff

Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 176 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 4:39 pm Coin looks ok to me. There exist many small varieties of these coins, especially in the placing of devices, letters and dots, as each die was handmade using punches. It certainly looks struck. Unfortunately the weight is not given, should be about 27.5 grams I think. Report this Post to the Staff
PNWType Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 9:14 pm Looks good to me as well. Agree with Eligius, there's so much variation in the early Netherlands types that a lot is possible. The details look correct in my eye and position/sizing doesn't look odd when compared with examples I could pull from google Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7947 Posts	Posted 01/25/2022 10:43 pm This seller has a rather odd pattern of coin sales in my opinion. No older coins in their history and all of the sudden, a lot of expensive European crowns. Maybe they just got a collection to dispose of, but patterns like this make me cautious. (That said, I also don't see any obvious issues with it ) Edited by tdziemia 01/25/2022 11:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 176 Posts	Posted 01/26/2022 07:13 am I looked up the specification of the silver ducat. Weight should be 28,25 gram and silver content is 0,873. So an actual weight of 28.0 seems to be correct. Report this Post to the Staff
