<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8363563, member: 110226&quot;]That&#039;s an interesting coin, Paul. It&#039;s from Overijssel.&nbsp; Generally the style of your coin is very similar to the rijksdaalders issued in the first half of the 1600s.&nbsp; There is some weakness mainly in the legends, but that&#039;s to be expected with these hammer struck coins.&nbsp; The centers are quite nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have the coin&#039;s weight?&nbsp; What did the Dutch dealers say about it, other than it might be a contemporary imitation, which actually adds to the coin&#039;s appeal for me.&nbsp; The legends on your coin seem normal to me.&nbsp; Often they get quite muddled on imitations, although I&#039;ve also seen anomalies on coins from the Netherlands as well, especially with retrograde letters.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rijksdaalders from this period are usually quite crude.&nbsp; Apparently the need to produce lots of them precluded the quality of the dies. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do have one from this period, but I need to find it!&nbsp; The collection is poorly organized.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did dig out an earlier example, with William the Silent on the obverse.&nbsp; This coin came from Karl Stephens over 20 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>United Provinces, Holland, rijksdaalder, 1592.</p><p>D-8841</p><p><br /></p><p>28.63 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1484341[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>When I find the other coin I&#039;ll post it.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might try sending the photo of your coin to Karl Stephens for his opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for posting your coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
