<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldducat, post: 1780065, member: 37873&quot;]I am not sure what you want to say with &quot;Trade Strikes&quot;. As fot the trade Dutch gold ducats with this year, we know ducats minted in Holland and Utrecht with inscriptions of HOL(land) and TRA(iectum)? TRAIECTUM is the Latin name of Utrecht city.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mintage of&nbsp; gold ducats (based on mint records) is:</p><p>1778-1781 Holland - 1,638,070 ducats&nbsp; </p><p>1780-1782 Utecht - 623,420 ducats </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In trade, coin finds and in auction results both of them are common coins, however I see 1780 Holland gold ducats definitely more ofthen than 1780 Utrecht strikes. Also the third province minted 1780 ducats - it&#039;s West Friesland, with &quot;W:FR:&quot; at the end of the legend. However, 1780 West Friesland gold ducat is very rare coin, never found on auctions. I know only one copy from Dutch museum collecion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
