After chatting with @tdziemia on CCF, I decided that it would be fun to show my growing collection of Provincial Coins of Utrecht. The set will contain one of each denomination, which means about 25 coins in total. First up, the largest denomination which is a 3 Gulden piece from 1682.  Next up, a Ducaton from 1763, a Ducat from 1796, and a half-Ducaton from 1792.    Finally, a Duit from 1791.  |

A great start to what will certainly be a great thread. Will everything you post be slabbed? At least so far, these are virtually untouched despite their age.

Yes, everything will be slabbed. I had several bad experiences with ungraded provincial coins which I do not care to repeat.

Fantastic coins, NumisEd! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your treasures. I have a lowly 1/10 Philipsdaalder but know very little about the coins of Utrecht.

Gorgeous examples!  Can we look forward to snaphaans and schellings? @Hondo, the term "Provincial" is usually taken to mean after the formation of the Dutch Republic, so probably a Philip II type is considered Lordship of Utrecht/Spanish Netherlands rather than Provincial. Likewise, I've got coins from the Bishopric of Utrecht, which is yet another entity, but none from Province of Utrecht. Edited by tdziemia

tdziemia, thank you for the information. I really know very little about Utrecht. I picked up my coin for $2 (or was it 50¢?) at a coin show a while back, figuring a silver coin from 1571 was probably worth more than that.

Nice coins. Good theme. But why Utrecht over say, Zeeland?

Utrecht is my original home town and where my family lives.

My kids lived in Holland and Zeeland MI. We'd sometimes go out to Drenthe for ice cream.
I just got back from Lynden WA, another of the US sub-provinces. I always load up on Sinas Snippers, bankets and speculoos. They're hard to find anywhere else.

I sometimes buy speculaas and gevulde koeken online.
