It was a practice the Russian Mint carried on for 100 years - copying and minting counterfeit Netherlands ducats. There were some coins that had a lower fineness than they should have and were slightly underweight, others were not. But there are specific diagnostics that identify the Russian counterfeits and that coin most definitely has them. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Netherlands only minted 95,000 of those coins, so that date has more value than average. But the Russians minted over 4 million of them, their value is gold content only.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
