Thanks, willieboyd2. Four centuries before 1986 it looked a bit different :) (picture from Google Images) [IMG]
You just encouraged me to publish some of new posts about ducats here :D
Well done! That's the nicest way to get a bullion coin! When you got any questions about the Dutch "dewcat" (European) or "duck-it" (US), feel...
That's a great 1810 ducat! What's the grade? I suppose it's MS63 or better. Here is a brother of this one, with a knight on the reverse (photo...
Well, you may forget about mint condition pieces, unless you got a fortune to spend on coins ;) Indeed gold European coins from before 1500 are...
I am also impressed with your coin. Dutch florins are not the main subject of my interests at the moment ;) , however I'd like to say it's...
My congratulations, Conrad! You are on the good way to create an excellent collection of gold ducats. I like both, especially the Zwolle copy....
I'd like to append a story of two other coins from the set - so-called siege ducats klippes, minted by the Middelburg mint. In fact these coins...
For me it's even more interesting if it was one man who bought all 4 coins of a few different guys :)
Well done! Especially the provenience of these pieces. And pictures! I would just add a picture of the lettered edge (from the side) of the...
The Polish 1831 Uprising ducats of the Dutch type are very special coins. There is only 163,025 pcs minted in 2 years (1831-32), a number of them...
Well, that's good at start! ;) Some dates of modern ducats are very interesting, e.g. 1817 ducat - one year type with a "mummy" mintmark. You may...
Hi kaparthy, thank you for your question. It is a very interesting issue indeed. In fact, it is pretty simple. Let me give you an example using a...
It may be a kind of so-calle rekenpenning or Rechenpfennig, I don't know it. Even the auctioneer was not sure, because in a catalog the coin is...
How do you like that one: an obverse of the Holland 1776 gold ducat and the reverse with a Peru (!) arms? A token struck in brass. This is the...
As I announced already, I would like to share with you an information about the special set of the Dutch coins. It's not special just because...
The second coin, the Utrecht 1684 is special because of the countermark "B", means Batavia. Batavia (Jakarta today) was a main city of the Dutch...
Well, I may tell you a bit about them then. The first one of coins you like was minted in 1673 in a temporary mint in Amsterdam. The Holland...
Recently we had an opportunity to spend $60,500 on the special set of the Netherlands coins. They were sold in the XIX Triton auction by CNG (Dr....
It’s not a fresh news, however it’s worth to be mentioned here. Many of you are interested in collecting modern strikes of the Dutch gold ducats....
