    This looks like a golden ducat of the Netherlands, more specifically of the city of Utrecht.
    The man is holding a bundel of arrows, symbol for Utrecht. The text that surrounds the man is saying "CONCORDIA RES PAR CRES TRA" which is abbreviated Latin for "CONCORDIA RES, PARVAE CRES****, TRAIECTUM". This means "Unity makes strength". This was the motto for the united Netherlands and still is the motto for the Belgian country. In the Nederlands the motto is "God with us"
