David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 01:09 am Hi all, Am trying to figure out which Druit I have. The reverse matches this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces18851.html but the obverse is different. I'm not sure how much variation there may be. Possible fake? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

The privy mark at top changed over the years, so the Numista photo (1737) has a turnip above the VOC monogram, but by 1789 it had changed several times to become a rosette as seen on yours.

bjherbison Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 12/05/2022 06:23 am It's not a "mint mark" (a mark identifying which mint produced the coin) but a privy mark as tdziemia said. The mark probably identifies the mint master or the engraver. (A privy mark can indirectly identify the mint, but for a Duit from the Netherlands the issuer and date are usually (always?) sufficient to identify the mint.) Report this Post to the Staff
