[QUOTE="goldducat, post: 4310292, member: 37873"]Respectfully disagree ;) Maybe 1749 is not a key date in a Dutch history, but in the Holland coinage it is. You should have to look at the third side of a coin. 1749 was a very special year for Netherlands ducats in the Holland province. First, a type with no reeded edge (as in previous years) was minted. Subsequently a reeded edge, means grooved cuts on the coin edge, was introduced in a minting process to protect coins from shaving them. To mark new type ducats a rosette mark was punched between the knight’s legs. The same year the States General banned gold ducats minted without a reeded edge from circulation. Your coin is the first year of minting gold ducats with a reeded edge.[/QUOTE]
